while() creating infinite loop

[jjshell]

Hello,

Happy New Year!

I'm trying to do something like that:

<?php while ( have_posts() ): ?>
    <p>the_title()</p>
<?php endwhile; ?>

And here are my functions:

function have_posts () {
    foreach($posts->all() as $current) {
        $thePost->set($current);
    }
    return false;
}

function the_title() {
    $current = $thePost->get();
    echo $current->title;
} 

Can anyone spot my error?

Regards,

-jj.

The problem is that each iteration of while() evaluates have_posts() so every time the condition is checked it runs the foreach loop. This would be a simple fix:

<?php foreach ( have_posts()  as $post): ?> 
    <p><?php echo $post->title;?></p> 
<?php endwhile; ?>

function have_posts () { 
    return $posts->all();
}

Many thanks for the reply

What about a WP-like approach? Would you know how to do that?

<?php while ( have_posts() ): the_post()): ?>

You'd have to have a parameter to the function, which would fairly degenerate the while into a for.
