How to display course list in moodle form?

Question

I want to display course list in moodle form and using following code;

$options = array();
$allcourses = coursecat::get(0)->get_courses(array('recursive' = true);
foreach ($allcourses as $course) {
    $options[$course->id] = $course-fullname;
}
$mform->addElement('select', 'courseid', get_string('course'), $options);
$mform->setDefault('courseid', $currentcourseid);
$mform->setType(PARAM_INT);

But it displays error at $allcourses = coursecat::get(0)->get_courses(array('recursive' = true); any guidance or help?

Thanks Regards

Answer 1

What does the error message that you are getting say?

Because it looks like you have unbalanced parentheses:

$allcourses = coursecat::get(0)->get_courses(array('recursive' = true);

Try this:

$allcourses = coursecat::get(0)->get_courses(array('recursive' = true));

When in doubt, always make sure your error messages are shown:

error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);
ini_set('display_errors', true);

Or, in your specific case, you might want to amend the Moodle $CFG object in config.php:

Hope this helps

It should be:

array('recursive' => true)); 

instead of (= instead of =>)

array('recursive' = true));
