Hi there, working with good old Kirby 2.

Filtering images from an image field (images plugin) with a `project.php` controller for my `project.php` template, and have no issues so far, also have a different installation where everything is working as expected.

However, in one case, I’m having a strange issue when `$galleryType == 'grid'`. Here I’m querying the images from the field but getting `Undefined variable: uri`.

What is strange is that it works if I manually set the uri in:

`$val = implode(", ", page($uri)->galleryimages()->yaml());`

to `projects/nosted` in this case:

`$val = implode(", ", page('projects/nosted')->galleryimages()->yaml());`

Running Kirby 2.5.12 on PHP 7.2.

```auto
<?php

return function($site, $pages, $page) {

	// Gallery Field Image Filtering

	$uri = $page->uri();

	$galleryType = $page->gallerytype();

	if($galleryType == 'alternating') {
		$images = $page->galleryimages()->yaml();
	} elseif($galleryType == 'grid') {
		$images = $page->images()->filter(function($image) {
			$val = implode(", ", page($uri)->galleryimages()->yaml());
			$filenames = explode(", ", $val);
			return in_array($image->filename(), $filenames);
		});
	}

	return compact(
		'galleryType',
		'images'
	);

};

```

Any thoughts on what might be the issue?

Best, Oliver

Where’s the point of getting the page from the URI if you might as well use the `$page` variable?

```auto
<?php

return function($site, $pages, $page) {

	// Gallery Field Image Filtering

	$galleryType = $page->gallerytype();

	if($galleryType == 'alternating') {
		$images = $page->galleryimages()->yaml();
	} elseif($galleryType == 'grid') {
		$images = $page->images()->filter(function($image) use($page) {
			$val = implode(", ", $page->galleryimages()->yaml());
			$filenames = explode(", ", $val);
			return in_array($image->filename(), $filenames);
		});
	}

	return compact(
		'galleryType',
		'images'
	);

};

```

The reason why your code doesn’t work is that you would have to pass the `$uri` variable to the anonymous function in the same way I now pass the `$page` variable.

Haha, yes, you’re absolutely right…  
It works, thanks so much!

Think I’ll call it a day, best to you 😉
