Not Getting the Same Result

So at 3:53 of the Todo App video Alena gets a result of all "No"s. I get a result of all "Yes"s. And it's weird because only ONE item in the list of arrays in the list.php file is "Yes," meaning it's Complete. What did I do wrong?

Plus the Due Dates are different from the video but I think the list.php file she's using is different from the one we currently download from the teacher's notes.

There's 2 files being worked with in this example, here's both:

The todo.php:

<?php 
include 'list.php';

$status = false;

$order = array();
foreach ($list as $key => $item) {
    if ($item['complete'] == $status) {
        $order[] = $key;
    }
}
//var_dump($order);
//var_dump($list);

echo '<table>';
echo '<tr>';
echo '<th>Title</th>';
echo '<th>Priority</th>';
echo '<th>Due Date</th>';
echo '<th>Complete</th>';
echo '</tr>';
foreach ($order as $id) {
    echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td>' . $list[$id]['title'] . "</td>\n";
    echo '<td>' . $list[$id]['priority'] . "</td>\n";
    echo '<td>' . $list[$id]['due'] . "</td>\n";
    echo '<td>';
    if ($item['complete']) {
        echo 'Yes';
    } else {
        echo 'No';
    }
    echo "</td>\n";
    echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
//var_dump($list);
//echo $list[0]['title'];
?>

And the list.php:

<?php
$list = array();
$list[] = array(
    'title' => 'Laundry',
    'priority' => 2,
    'due' => '06/09/2016',
    'day' => 0,
    'repeat' => true,
    'complete' => false,
);
$list[] = array(
    'title' => 'Dishes',
    'priority' => 2,
    'due' => null,
    'day' => 0,
    'repeat' => true,
    'complete' => false,
);
$list[] = array(
    'title' => 'Dust',
    'priority' => 3,
    'due' => null,
    'day' => 5,
    'repeat' => true,
    'complete' => false,
);
$list[] = array(
    'title' => 'Vacuum',
    'priority' => 1,
    'due' => '06/09/2016',
    'day' => 1,
    'repeat' => true,
    'complete' => false,
);
$list[] = array(
    'title' => 'Make Dinner',
    'priority' => 1,
    'due' => null,
    'day' => 0,
    'repeat' => true,
    'complete' => false,
);
$list[] = array(
    'title' => 'Clean Out Fridge',
    'priority' => 2,
    'due' => '07/30/2016',
    'day' => 0,
    'repeat' => true,
    'complete' => true,
);
?>

You forgot to change one variable inside the second foreach loop

from:

    if ($item['complete']) {
        echo 'Yes';
    } else {
        echo 'No';
    }

to

    if ($list[$id]['complete']) {
        echo 'Yes';
    } else {
        echo 'No';
    }

Change your loop:

foreach ($list as $key => $item) {
    if ($item['complete'] == $status) { // This line here
        $order[] = $key;
    }
}

To this:

foreach ($list as $key => $item) {
    if ($item['complete']) { // Should look like this
        $order[] = $key;
    }
}
