Foreach loop - receiving duplicates

[ankh2054]

Hi All,

Wonder if someone could assist me with the below. I have created a foreach loop to show all the children pages of current page. This works.

I am then trying to show different text for each child based on whether the current logged in user is the owner or not. This works, apart from at each loop iteration the previous results are added prior to the current.

<?php 

            $results = $page->children;

            foreach($results as $reply) { 

                //Bottom post buttin display options - Reply
                if ($reply->createdUser->name == $user->name){

                    $bottom_options_reply .= "<p> This is the current owner</p>";

                }

                else  {

                    $bottom_options_reply .= "<p> This is not the owner </p>";
                }

                //Theme each topic                   
                echo " 
                    
        <div class='panel panel-default'>
                    
                        <div class='panel-body'>
                             <div class='col-md-3'>
                                {$avatar_profile_logo}
                                {$reply->createdUser->name}
                             </div>
                             <div class='col-md-6'>
                                {$reply->body}
                             </div>
                        </div>
                   

                    <div class='panel-footer'>
                       
                        {$bottom_options_reply}
                        
                    </div>
               
               
        </div>
                ";

Below is the screenshot of the results, showing the $bottom_options_reply being added multiple times.

I added this to the above and it worked. 

$bottom_options_reply = '';

//Footer button display options - Reply
                $bottom_options_reply  = '';
                if ($reply->createdUser->name == $user->name){

                    $bottom_options_reply .= "<p> This is the current owner</p>";

                }

Yes, you have to set up the variable before the loop, otherwise all you have a pile of addons to the variable without the original variable, if you see what I mean!
