Hello,

 

I was wondering if someone could help me with my following problem, I want a real basic text ticker in the top of my page and it has to take all the information from the database.

 

I found this ticker called "jquery_news_ticker" and it does a perfect job for my cause. But everytime it takes the information from the database it shows the ticker multiple times below each other.

 

I searched on the internet and found that it was a loop problem, I should put it in a while loop and then it should function normally. But there comes my problem, I cannot get it functioning.

 

Here is my code without while loop (showing it multiple times):

<?php
include_once 'handler.php';
$teams = getTeams();
?>

<?php
foreach ($teams as $team) {
$leden = getLeden($team["id"]);
?>
                    
<link href="jquery_news_ticker/styles/ticker-style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="jquery_news_ticker/includes/jquery.ticker.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<ul id="js-news" class="js-hidden">
    <li class="news-item"><a href="#"><?php  echo $team ["telefoon"]; ?></a></li>
</ul>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $('#js-news').ticker();
    });
</script>
<?php
}  
?>

Hopefully someone could help me with this problem..

 

Thanks in advance!

 

ps. I'm just a beginner with PHP..

The foreach is in the wrong place, you want to loop the <li> and not the whole thing. The following should work.

 

<?php
include_once 'handler.php';
$teams = getTeams();
?>
                 
<link href="jquery_news_ticker/styles/ticker-style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="jquery_news_ticker/includes/jquery.ticker.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<ul id="js-news" class="js-hidden">
<?php
foreach ($teams as $team) {
$leden = getLeden($team["id"]);
?>
<li class="news-item"><a href="#"><?php  echo $team ["telefoon"]; ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $('#js-news').ticker();
    });
</script>

Thanks alot! It worked!
