Loop through ticket names

[Paul Oaten]

Hi Stephen

I have the following code in my event-meta-event-single.php template

 $tickets = eo_get_event_tickets_on_sale( $post->ID, $post->occurrence_id );
     $ticket = array_shift( $tickets );
     $ticket_name = $ticket['name'];
     $raw_price = $ticket['price'];
     $formatted_price = eo_format_price( $raw_price, true ); //Format price with currency

I just need to loop through all the possible ticket names for the event and display them in an unordered list.
I’ve tried a foreach loop as follows:

foreach($tickets as $ticket) {

                echo '
' . $ticket_name . '
';           
            }

but it only produces one ticket name instead of the list I need.
Can you help please

Hi Paul,

The forum ate your code :/, but does this not work?

 $tickets = eo_get_event_tickets_on_sale( $post->ID, $post->occurrence_id );
 echo '<ul>';
 foreach( $tickets as $ticket ){
     printf( '<li> %s </li>', esc_html( $ticket['name'] ) );
 }
 echo '</ul>';

It almost does.

Here’s what I have now:-

 

    <?php
        foreach( $tickets as $ticket ){
            printf( '
 %s 
', esc_html( $ticket['name'] . ' - ' . $formatted_price )  );
        }
    ?>
 

However, the first ticket name doesn’t get printed in the list and also the $formatted_price for each ticket name appears as zero.
Is this something to do with array_shift($tickets); ?

Can I override somehow. Continued help appreciated as ever!

array_shift() removes the element from the beginning of the array and returns it.

So you can try,

$tickets = eo_get_event_tickets_on_sale( $post->ID, $post->occurrence_id );
echo '<ul>';
foreach( $tickets as $ticket ){
    $raw_price = $ticket['price'];
    $formatted_price = eo_format_price( $raw_price, true ); //Format price with currency
    printf( '<li> %s </li>', esc_html( $ticket['name'] . ' - ' . $formatted_price ) );
}
echo '</ul>';

So I amended the array line to this:

$ticket = array( $tickets );

and now it works fine. Does it matter that I took out the ‘shift’ instruction?

[Stephen Harris]

The array_shift() was from another thread, and I used it because I thought there was only one ticket available (or you just wanted the price of the first ticket).

The thing to be aware of is that array_shift() modifies the original array.

$array = array( 'a', 'b', 'c' );
echo array_shift( $array ); //'a';
//$array is now array( 'b', 'c' );

My previous post should list all tickets (and price) for an event.
