PHP Object-Oriented PHP Basics Building the Recipe Populating the Recipes

Building the Recipe "Please enter valid measurement"

Hi i just finished the chapter "Building the Recipe" where we add the predefined recipes found in "inc/allrecipes.php". How ever no matter what recipe i use with the final code all i get returned is "Please enter a valid measurement: tsb, tbsp, cup, oz, lb, fl oz, pint, quart, gallon". Now the code worked when recipes where added manually through out the course only after including the "inc/allrecipes.php" does this error show up. anybody else experience this ?

Update, checked all the basics and tried passing in a value of "null" into the render method as so:

Render::displayRecipe(null);

Still returns "Please enter a valid measurement: tsb, tbsp, cup, oz, lb, fl oz, pint, quart, gallon".

I have tried using "var_dump" on several of the recipe objects but get nothing in return, any idea what could be wrong ?

SOLVED Hey ik this might be a little bit late but I was having the same issue! All I had to do was in the second if statement in the addIngredient function was change the $measure = !null to $measure = null and now it works fine.

This is very late to answer this one but if anyone else encounters it now, mine was due to there being a unit missing from the measurements array, I added in the "oz" measurement that was present in the downloads file and all started working!
