You have two ‘$’ symbols on this line –
{ $$value['id'] = get_settings( $value['id'] ); }
If amending that still fails, add this line BEFORE the foreach() statement and post your results here so we can take a look.
`echo ‘<pre>’; print_r($options); echo ‘</pre>’;
That will display the contents of $options on the screen in a way that is easy to read – basically, you should be looking for it to eiter be an Array or an Object.

Hi Duck Boy
Thanks for the reply.
Made no difference removing one of the $
Here is the output after adding the echo statement before the foreach line
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in thecontent.php line 5.
Hope this helps
Thanks
Mac
I notice I put an extra symbol in before the line by mistake – should be this that is added to your file.
echo ‘
'; print_r($options); echo '
‘;

Hi
Sorry for souding stupid but what is the exact string that needs to be placed on the line before the forach line.
Is it
echo’; print_r($options); echo ‘
Have tried a few variations but nothing changes.
What do you expect to see and where when the string is correct ?
Thanks
Mac
Right, either me or the forum keeps mucking up my post (must be the forum!!!). This is what you need to put –
echo '<pre>'; print_r($options); echo '</pre>';
You should see something along these lines –
Array
(
[0] => value_1
[1] => value_2
[2] => value_3
[3] => value_4
[4] => value_5
)

Hi Duck Boy
No joy
The string appears differently between the e mail and the forum
This is what appears in my inbox
echo ‘
'; print_r($options); echo '
‘;
This is what appears in the forum post
echo ‘
'; print_r($options); echo '
‘;
Not sure which is right but whichever one i add in i get the same error when i try to launch the site.
So these are the lines at the top of the thecontent.php file with your debug string in.
<?php
global $options;
echo ‘
'; print_r($options); echo '
‘;
foreach ($options as $value) {
if (get_settings( $value[‘id’] ) === FALSE) { $$value[‘id’] = $value[‘std’]; } else { $$value[‘id’] = get_settings( $value[‘id’] ); }
}
?>
Is this correct ?
Many thanks
Mac

Just noticed , after i posted the reply in the forum both strings which appear differently in this forum and the e mail i received from the forum look the same in the reply i posted.
Not sure where to go with this, any advice ?
