Help with Drop-down action

    I’m trying to use <?php pll_the_languages(array('dropdown'=>1)); ?> to display a language switcher drop-down in my theme, and I found the widget’s drop-down action code in polylang/include/widget.php, but I can’t get it to work. The action code kills the whole page. This is how I’m using it:

    <?php pll_the_languages(array('dropdown'=>1)); ?>
<?php foreach ($polylang->get_languages_list() as $language) {
				$url = $force_home || ($url = $polylang->get_translation_url($language)) == null ? $polylang->get_home_url($language) : $url;
				$urls[] = '"'.esc_js($language->slug).'":"'.esc_url($url).'"';
			}

			$urls = implode(',', $urls);

			$js = "
				<script type='text/javascript'>
					//<![CDATA[
					var urls = {{$urls}};
					var d = document.getElementById('lang_choice');
					d.onchange = function() {
						for (var i in urls) {
							if (this.value == i)
								location.href = urls[i];
						}
					}
					//]]>
				</script>";

			echo $js;
		} ?>

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You must add

    global $polylang;

    before your foreach
    I also believe that you must remove the last }

    That worked! Thanks so much!

    So, for those looking to do the same thing as me, this is what my final code looks like:

    <div><?php if(function_exists('pll_the_languages')) {
		pll_the_languages(array('dropdown'=>1));
	} ?></div>
	<?php global $polylang;
		foreach ($polylang->get_languages_list() as $language) {
				$url = $force_home || ($url = $polylang->get_translation_url($language)) == null ? $polylang->get_home_url($language) : $url;
				$urls[] = '"'.esc_js($language->slug).'":"'.esc_url($url).'"';
			}

			$urls = implode(',', $urls);

			$js = "
				<script type='text/javascript'>
					//<![CDATA[
					var urls = {{$urls}};
					var d = document.getElementById('lang_choice');
					d.onchange = function() {
						for (var i in urls) {
							if (this.value == i)
								location.href = urls[i];
						}
					}
					//]]>
				</script>";

			echo $js;
	?>
