Syntax help

[toolman]

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me if this line is correct:

                    $output .= '<ul>';
                            foreach ($chunk as $subterms) {
                                $output .= '<li class="'. $category_name .'"><a href="' . get_term_link( $subterms ) . '">' . $subterms->name;
                                if($jobs_counter=='yes'){
                                   $output .= '<span>' . $subterms->count . '</span>';
                                }
                                $output .= '</a></li>';
                            }
                        $output .= '</ul>';

It is outputting the following HTML for the li as a blank class:

<li class="">

Thanks

It is outputting the following HTML for the li as a blank class:

<li class="">

That suggests that $category_name isn’t what you think it is.
What does var_dump($category_name) tell you?

[toolman]

Thanks for the reply.

That outputs:

string(0) "" string(12) "cat-freebies"

which is one of my category names

[m_hutley]

yeah but it spat 2 things out. an empty string and then cat-freebies.

What is populating $category_name? I suspect we need a little wider view on your code.

Try adding this line to see what is being passed:

echo '<pre>'; print_r($chunk); echo '</pre>'; // pre adds line feeds
foreach ($chunk as $subterms) {
                        

For the benefit of users trying to help, copy and paste the output here.
