View variable dying in foreach

As a follow up, I was running this locally on WAMP (Windows 8) when I got the problem. Last night out of desperation I pushed it up to a test server............... and there's no error. There must be some environmental issue causing the connection reset, I am baffled as to what at this point. If I do figure it out I will post my findings. Thanks for the replies, I look forward to being involved in this community!
