Page goes blank after adding to PHP foreach - php

Question

Hello after I add some code to this PHP foreach the page goes blank and all I can see is a round black dot at the top left of screen.
My website is in Joomla3 and I am trying to customize a module. my site is http://get2gethersports.com
I have a recent post module that only shows the articles title.
that code is posted below
<?php if ($items) { ?>
<ul class="rsblog-recent-module unstyled<?php echo $params->get('moduleclass_sfx',''); ?>">
<?php foreach ($items as $item) { ?>
<li>
<a <?php echo $opener; ?> href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_rsblog&view=post&id='.RSBlogHelper::sef($item->id,$item->alias).$Itemid,false); ?>">
<?php echo $item->title; ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
I would like to add an image abocve like the blog feed on http://vape-co.com
So I navigated to the component and saw the call for the image. which is posted below:
<div class="rsblog-entry-content">
<?php if ($this->item->image) { ?>
<div class="rsblog-entry-image">
<img class="rsblog-entry-thumb img-polaroid" src="<?php echo JURI::root().'components/com_rsblog/assets/images/blog/'.$this->item->image; ?>?nocache=<?php echo uniqid(''); ?>" alt="<?php echo $this->escape($this->item->title); ?>">
</div>
<?php } ?>
but whenever i add it or a snippet of it to the previous code it breaks....
Any ideas why it is breaking the page and how to fix it?
I tried adding in new li tags. Just adding the PHP part above the a link etc...
CODE UPDATE----
<?php if ($items) { ?>
<ul class="rsblog-recent-module unstyled<?php echo $params->get('moduleclass_sfx',''); ?>">
<?php foreach ($items as $item) { var_dump($item);?>
<li>
<div class="rsblog-entry-content">
<?php if ($this->item->image) { ?>
<div class="rsblog-entry-image">
<img class="rsblog-entry-thumb img-polaroid" src="<?php echo JURI::root().'components/com_rsblog/assets/images/blog/'.$this->item->image; ?>?nocache=<?php echo uniqid(''); ?>" alt="<?php echo $this->escape($this->item->title); ?>">
</div>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<a <?php echo $opener; ?> href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_rsblog&view=post&id='.RSBlogHelper::sef($item->id,$item->alias).$Itemid,false); ?>">
<?php echo $item->title; ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>

Answer 1

Try $item->image instead of $this->item->image

Answer 2

Correct code. Looks like it just needed some reduction.
<?php if ($items) { ?>
<ul class="rsblog-recent-module unstyled<?php echo $params -> get('moduleclass_sfx',''); ?>">
<?php foreach ($items as $item) { ?>
<li>
<?php if($item->image != '') ?>
<img src="components/com_rsblog/assets/images/blog/<?php echo $item->image;?>" alt="<?php echo $item->title. "logo";?>" width="100px"/>
<br/>
<a <?php echo $opener; ?> href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_rsblog&view=post&id='.RSBlogHelper::sef($item->id,$item->alias).$Itemid,false); ?>">
<?php echo $item->title; ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
