While() creating infinite loop

PHP
1

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,

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 :slight_smile:

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.
