How to wrap a foreach loop item in a link? - php

Question

I think this question is php rather than WordPress...
I have a block of code that outputs pages which use a specific WordPress page template:
$pages = get_pages(array(
'meta_key' => '_wp_page_template',
'meta_value' => 'page-product.php'
));
foreach($pages as $page){
echo $page->post_title.'<br />';
}
My question is how do I wrap the post_title in a link (the_permalink() to the page itself)?

Answer 1

You would do the following:
foreach ( $pages as $page ){
printf( '%s<br />', get_permalink( $page ), $page->post_title );
}

Answer 2

Try this..
get_page_link( $page->ID )
In your code..
$pages = get_pages(array(
'meta_key' => '_wp_page_template',
'meta_value' => 'page-product.php'
));
foreach($pages as $page){
echo '' . $page->post_title.'<br />';
}
For more information Wordpress always has lots of example and information on what your using.
In this case I used actual code provided by Wordpress themselves, thus will be best way to do this. Please see https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_pages

Answer 3

Try this snippet:
$pages = get_pages(array(
'meta_key' => '_wp_page_template',
'meta_value' => 'page-product.php'
));
foreach($pages as $page){
///Do not forget to escape the title
echo '' . esc_html($page->post_title) . '';
}

Answer 4

Thanks for the suggestions. bodi0 - I liked the esc_html, thanks. I finally figured it out slightly differently with this:
<?php
$studentpages = get_pages(array(
'meta_key' => '_wp_page_template',
'meta_value' => 'students.php'
));
foreach($studentpages as $studentpage){
$studentlinks = get_page_link($studentpage->ID);
echo ''.$studentpage->post_title.'' . '<br />';
}
?>
