PHP

When Alena Holligan moved all the code to get_item_html() function. She forgot to reference the variable $id inside func

May be I am seeing things but I noticed when Alena Holligan moved all the code to get_item_html() function. She forgot to reference the variable $id inside function

For example:

function get_item_html($id, $item){
              $output = "<li><a href='#'><img src=' "
                       . $item["img"] . " ' alt=' "
                       . $item["title"] . " ' />"
                       .  "<p>View Details</p>"
                       . "</a></li>";
               return $output;
}

in the above code $item["img"], $item["title"] should be replace with $item[$id].
