Wordpress内联php不起作用

Question

I have a little question why my inline php code doesn't work:

If I wrote my code like this: which is very ugly btw(IMO), it works great.

<?php
$cat = get_terms('logietype'); 
?>
<section class="paddings">
    <div class="container-full">
        <?php


        foreach ($cat as $catVal) {
            echo "<div class='row'>";
            echo "<h2 class='logieheader'>".$catVal->name."</h2>";
            $postArg = array('post_type'=>'logie','posts_per_page'=>-1,'order'=>'desc',
                              'tax_query' => array(
                                                    array(
                                                        'taxonomy' => 'logietype',
                                                        'field' => 'term_id',
                                                        'terms' => $catVal->term_id
                                                    )
                            ));

            $getPost = new wp_query($postArg);
            global $post;

            if($getPost->have_posts()){

                    while ( $getPost->have_posts()):$getPost->the_post();
                        echo "<div class='col-md-4 no-padding'>";
                        echo "<h3 class='logieheader'>".$post->post_title."</h3>";
                        echo "<p>".$post->post_content."</p>";
                        echo "</div>";
                    endwhile;

            }
            echo '</div>';
        }
    ?>
    </div>
</section>

But when I try this: which is much cleaner(IMO), nothing works :(

<?php
$cat = get_terms('logietype'); 
?>
<section class="paddings">
    <div class="container-full">

        <?php foreach ($cat as $catVal): ?>
            <div class='row'>
            <h2 class='logieheader'><?php $catVal->name ?></h2>
            <?php $postArg = array('post_type'=>'logie','posts_per_page'=>-1,'order'=>'desc',
                              'tax_query' => array(
                                                    array(
                                                        'taxonomy' => 'logietype',
                                                        'field' => 'term_id',
                                                        'terms' => $catVal->term_id
                                                    )
                            ));

            $getPost = new wp_query($postArg);
            global $post; ?>

            <?php if($getPost->have_posts()): ?>

                    <?php while ( $getPost->have_posts()):$getPost->the_post(): ?>
                        <div class='col-md-4 no-padding'>
                        <h3 class='logieheader'><?php $post->post_title ?></h3>
                        <p><?php $post->post_content ?></p>
                        </div>
                    <?php endwhile; ?>

            <?php endif; ?>
            </div>
        <?php endforeach; ?>

    </div>
</section>

Anyone has any idea why the one works and the other doesn't?

Many thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The error is because of the following line:

 <?php while ( $getPost->have_posts()):$getPost->the_post(): ?>
                                                           ^ see this colon here

It should be,

 <?php while ( $getPost->have_posts()):$getPost->the_post(); ?>
