one who can solve this php code ?!?

one who can solve this php code ^ echo "<option><?php echo htmlspecialchars( $Player[ 'Name' ] ); ?></option>"; ^ And the error on the page http://gyazo.com/aaf5d029a1da9d52ea3341dd01e55960

First Point:
Well what the hell am I meant to solve if I don't even know what the error message is?
echo "<option><?php echo htmlspecialchars( $Player[ 'Name' ] ); ?></option>"; isn't good enough my friend.

Second Point:
Can you provide some source code of report.php and give us a bit of a hand here?

Put some effort in.

Just a quick notice on formatting... Does PHP allow $Player[ 'Name' ]? Shouldn't it be $Player['Name'] (notice the white spaces)?

Also, I am not sure there is Is_Array() but there is is_array()... The language is case-sensitive!

[mathiaslisborg.jakobsen]

It works fine here but it is not with echo "";

[mathiaslisborg.jakobsen]

I also tried with:
echo "<option>";
echo htmlspecialchars( $Player[ 'Name' ] );
echo "</option>";

[mattster]

Heres something based on what we've said so far:

if(is_Array($Players)){
    foreach($Players as $Player) {
        $option = htmlspecialchars($Player['Name']);
        echo "<option>". $option."</option>";
    }
}

Neaten your code up and make it consistant.

The above should solve your problem, if not, check that $Players array contains the correct variables.

In future, could posters please paste error messages and any relevant code into the editor so that they appear in the thread. Nothing more annoying than having to follow links. Some contributors may be using a smartphone - any idea how tedious opening image dumps or code repos can be?

@Taywin
I believe that whitespace around the quoted itemname inside the square bracket is allowed.

$l = array('m'=>'fine');
echo $l[ 'm' ];

Works fine for me. Also Is_Array() is allowed - variables are case sensitive, but I believe functions are case insensitive.

$l = array('m'=>'fine');
echo Is_Array($l); //displays 1

[Taywin]

Verify that your $Player variable contains what you are looking for (using echo to inspect). Also, your original script in your report.txt file contains nested <option> and </option>. Watch out for that.

[mathiaslisborg.jakobsen]

The new code only works with a player http://matchhosting.cf/report.txt

<?php if( Is_Array( $Players ) ): ?>
<?php foreach( $Players as $Player ): ?><option>";
echo "<option><?php echo htmlspecialchars( $Player[ 'Name' ] ); ?></option>";
echo "</option><?php endforeach; ?>
<?php else: ?>
                            <option>No players in da house</option>
<?php endif; ?>

The area concerned with your error seems to be the above. remember that error lines do not necessarily relate to the line number itself, it may be a consequence of an upstream error.

<?php foreach( $Players as $Player ): ?><option>";

Seems a bit odd. Also

echo "</option><?php endforeach; ?>

That doesn't make sense.

You have used alternative syntax for control structures, which in itself is fine, but in so doing you seem to have mashed up the html and the php. I fail to see why you are using <?php..?> tags or echo on nearly every line. This is slooow. Try to separate your html and php as much as possible.
Build up your strings using concatenation and echo just once if possible.

[mathiaslisborg.jakobsen]

Does not work :/

The new code: http://matchhosting.cf/report.txt and the error: http://gyazo.com/2d50f4aaf0cf26ee53d27a4d471f93c1

Please... pretty please... "mod speaking" - paste your code and errors directly into this thread.

echo "<option><?php echo htmlspecialchars( $Player[ 'Name' ] ); ?></option>";

Again, sigh, why are you placing php tags inside an echo command?

echo "<option>" . htmlspecialchars($Player['Name']) . "</option>";

should work.

[mathiaslisborg.jakobsen]

I just started with low echo so is not so into it
-if there are errors in the message it is because I translate on google :)

Irrelevant. Get a good tutorial on the basics of php and how to use it with html. Your way of mixing them up is not very good. Code should be clean.

[mathiaslisborg.jakobsen]

But can you tell me what my error is here ~ http://matchhosting.cf/report.txt :)

[almostbob]

post the actual error message, not a link.
follow the instructions you have been given

Please... pretty please... "mod speaking" - paste your code and errors directly into this thread.

'mod' is the bloke who kicks your ass off the site when you annoy them enough

I think I've made it pretty clear now, please POST the code, do not provide links. This is getting frustrating.

And it only shows one player now, it will display all and have tested it with just php.

[mathiaslisborg.jakobsen]

This code I'm 100% sure works.

    <select class="form-control">            
<?php if( Is_Array( $Players ) ): ?>
<?php foreach( $Players as $Player ): ?>
                            <option><?php echo htmlspecialchars( $Player[ 'Name' ] ); ?></option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php else: ?>
                            <option>No players in da house</option>
<?php endif; ?>
</select>

This is the code I try and get to work with echo.

[almostbob]

<?php if( Is_Array( $Players ) ) { echo '<select class="form-control">'; 
 foreach( $Players as $Player ) {
  echo "<option> htmlspecialchars( $Player[ 'Name' ] </option>";
  echo '</select'>;
 }
else {echo '<input class="form-control" type="text" disabled="disabled" Value="No players in da house">';
}

every timne you go to php, drop back to html, it adds processing time
If you can do it once
do it once

[mathiaslisborg.jakobsen]

All thanks for the help :)

[almostbob]

</option>"; in line 3
should be
</option>";}

foreach( $Players as $Player ) {
  echo "<option> htmlspecialchars( $Player[ 'Name' ] </option>";
  echo '</select'>;
 }

The </select> should be outside the loop otherwise you'll get multiple close select tags.

I changed your last "long" listen to this.
My php is rusty but I think it will do the trick. I did not test it.. :s

<?php
include 'header.php';
require ('steamauth/steamauth.php'); 
//
// use "htmlspecialchars()" on each value of Players
if(is_Array($Players)){
    foreach($Players as $Player) {
        $Player = htmlspecialchars($Player);
    }
    unset($Player); // break the reference with the last element
}
//
if(!isset($_SESSION['steamid'])) {
    echo "<center>Welcome guest! please login to making a report and view your reports \n \n";
    echo steamlogin();
    echo "</center>";
}else{
    include ('steamauth/userInfo.php');
    //Protected content
    echo "
