Understanding Whitespace

This is not a code challenge thing, it's more of a following along issue here.

I just got done with Understanding Whitespace and did the code as Mr. Hoyt showed (best that I know) and when I get my code done, unlike Mr. Hoyt who gets his page to display, I get this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''" alt="'' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting ',' or ';' in C:\xampp\htdocs\shirts.php on line 60

Here's the code, I'm gonna go back to take a look at what I done wrong in a few:

<?php

$products = array(); $products[101] = array( "name" => "Logo Shirt, Red", "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-101.jpg", "price" => 18
); $products[102] = array( "name" => "Mike the Frog Shirt, Black", "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-102.jpg", "price" => 20 ); $products[103] = array( "name" => "Mike the Frog Shirt, Blue", "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-103.jpg",
"price" => 20 ); $products[104] = array( "name" => "Logo Shirt, Green", "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-104.jpg",
"price" => 18 ); $products[105] = array( "name" => "Mike the Frog Shirt, Yellow", "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-105.jpg",
"price" => 25 ); $products[106] = array( "name" => "Logo Shirt, Gray", "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-106.jpg",
"price" => 20 ); $products[107] = array( "name" => "Logo Shirt, Turquoise", "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-107.jpg",
"price" => 20 ); $products[108] = array( "name" => "Logo Shirt, Orange", "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-108.jpg",
"price" => 25 );

?><?php $pageTitle = "Mike's T-Shits"; $section = "shirts"; include('inc/header.php'); ?>

  <div class="section page">

     <div class="wrapper">

     <h1>Mike&rsquo;s Full Catalog Of Shirts</h1>

     <ul class="products">
        <?php foreach($products as $product) 
            echo "<li>";
            echo '<a href="#">';
            echo '<img src="' . $product["img"]'" alt="' . $product["name"]'">';
            echo "</li>"
            echo "<p>View Details</p>"
            echo "</a>"
        } 
     ?>
     </ul>

  </div>

<?php include('inc/footer.php'); ?>

    <?php foreach($products as $product) 
               echo "<li>";
               echo '<a href="#">';
               echo '<img src="' . $product["img"] . '" alt="' . $product["name"] . '">';
               echo "<p>View Details</p>";
               echo "</a>";
               echo "</li>";
           }

3 things Robert:

  • in your foreach ($products as $product) you were missing the semicolons as Dai pointed out.
  • in your foreach, You are also missing the beginning curly brace for it.
  • in your foreach, you're missing a . between the variable $product["img"] and the string '" alt="'

Make sure you double and triple check your syntax

It looks like you are missing a couple concatenation periods on the third line of your foreach loop (one between $product["img"] and '" alt="' and I'll let you find the other).

I took a look at the download they provide and saw what I did wrong as Dai Phong pointed out. Syntax!
