Field Name case sensitivity makes sense but tripped me up

[alan]

In case the mistake I just made helps anyone else...

I wanted to display a file on a page with a default install of PW. So I added a field of type 'file' and rather unimaginatively called it "Files".

Via the admin I then edited a page and added a file and description to a page and added:

foreach($page->files as $file) {
echo "<p>Test output: {$file->description}</p>";
}

to the template.

The result was nothing new displayed :/ Confused I tried lots of things, then wondered if by using the name "Files" for my field I had stumbled on a reserved word that didn't work.

Of course everyone will have seen my error, the field I added was "Files" and the field I am querying is "files".

Lesson well and truly learned (I hope )

Alan,

Made that one a few times myself. Mostly when I get an itchy pinky finger and end up capitalizing something unintentionally.

Hehe I wish I had that excuse, mine was lack of synaptic activity.
