Why foreach enters into if only on first loop? - php

Question

If I loop through foreach loop only on first time it enters into if and gets variable values, so each next time it still have old values. why?
If I print_r($i) and kill it responds:
A0A0A0A0A0A0A0A0A0A0A0A0A0A0TXTTXT16
Real amount is end of it(16). So that means it loops 16 times through loop but into if enters only on first loop of if $type changes. So $type doesn't get new value each time it runs through loop.
Code I have:
$recordTypes = array('CnameRecord', 'ARecord', 'MxRecord', 'TxtRecord');
foreach ($recordTypes as $type) {
$modelName = $type::model()->tableName();
$record = $type::model()->findAllbySql("SELECT * FROM $modelName WHERE vhost_id LIKE $id");
if ($record) {
foreach ($record as $key=>$rec) {
if ($type == 'ARecord'){
$type = 'A' + $i;
$hostname = $rec['sub_vhost_name'];
$points_to = $rec['points_to'];
$ttl = $rec['ttl'];
} else if ($type == 'CnameRecord') {
$type = 'CNAME';
$hostname = $rec['hostname'];
$points_to = $rec['points_to'];
$ttl = $rec['ttl'];
} else if ($type == 'MxRecord') {
$type = 'MX';
$priority = $rec['priority'] . ' ';
$points_to = $rec['points_to'];
$ttl = $rec['ttl'];
$hostname = $rec['host'];
} else if ($type == 'TxtRecord') {
$type = 'TXT';
$hostname = $rec['hostname'];
$points_to = '"' . $rec['txt_value'] . '" ';
$ttl = $rec['ttl'];
}
$i++;
print_r($type);
$custom_content = $hostname . ' ' . $ttl . ' ' . 'IN' . ' ' . $type . ' ' . $priority . $points_to . "\n";
}
}
}
print_r($i);die;

Answer 1

you are using:
foreach ($recordTypes as $type) { ...
And inside the foreach you're modifying the "type" var, so in the next loops through $record, you'll fail any if statement.
Change the $type var (inside if statements) to another var name and try again.
