I use this code in the shirt.php file
<?php
$id = $_GET["id"];
$product = get_product($id);
if(!isset($product)) {
header("location: " . BASE_URL . "shirts/");
exit();
}
and this in the products.php file
<?php
function get_product($shirt_id) {
if (isset($shirt_id)) {
$product_id = $shirt_id;
if(isset($products[$product_id])) {
return $product = $products[$product_id];
}
}
}
But it fails everytime, that is, it always goes back to shirts page, which means that the $product variable isnt set by calling my function in the shirt.php file. I come from javascript, and im quite confused to why my code isnt working.

Courses Plus Student 2,360 PointsOh silly me, I added the line $products = get_products_all() inside the get_product function; And now it works as intended! Thanks!

31,709 PointsNo problem, glad I could help.

Courses Plus Student 2,360 PointsI actually changed it now as a parameter
$products = get_products_all();
$id = $_GET["id"];
$product = get_product($id, $products);
that worked also

11,177 PointsI'm still trying to solve this with the best practices . It's still confusing to me how to separate controller from model. But if I'm looking at this correctly, the code at the top.
Should not be in the controller but rather in the model. Wouldn't you say?
