Auto increment through a php loop - php

Question

I have a case where I am using the code below to populate a template of sorts. Within the templates' javascript I would individually check the data attribute field I setup, essentially causing me to have multiple JS files instead of one that is shared. I then thought I could use a generic name field too, but prepend a number through the loop.
For example, with the line of code below where the `name="testField". I want to see if there is a way that I can add a number, but auto increment it through the loop with php.
Is this possible?
echo '<div class="markerItem" name="testField' . $number . '" "data-marker="' . $marker_data . '">';
PHP Code
if ($marker_stmt = $con->prepare($sql_marker)) {
$marker_stmt->execute();
$marker_rows = $marker_stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
echo '<div id="projMarker">';
foreach ($marker_rows as $marker_row) {
$marker_solution = $marker_row['solution'];
$maker_item = $marker_row['subSolution'];
$marker_data = $marker_row['subSolution'];
echo '<div class="markerItem" data-marker="' . $marker_data . '">';
echo $marker_item;
echo '</div>';
}
}
echo '</div>';

if ($marker_stmt = $con->prepare($sql_marker)) {
$marker_stmt->execute();
$marker_rows = $marker_stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
echo '<div id="projMarker">';
foreach ($marker_rows as $key=>$marker_row) {
$marker_solution = $marker_row['solution'];
$maker_item = $marker_row['subSolution'];
$marker_data = $marker_row['subSolution'];
echo '<div class="markerItem" name="testField_'.$key.'" data-marker="' . $marker_data . '">';
echo $marker_item;
echo '</div>';
}
}
echo '</div>';
Using this, $key is assigned from the array index which will be a number starting from 0 and ending at count($marker_rows)-1.

Suprisingly, I couldn't find an appropriate duplicate for this.
You can easily increment or decrement variables in PHP.
$number = 0;
foreach ($marker_rows as $marker_row) {
...
$number++; // $number will now be $number+1
}
You can use $number++ directly in your attribute (if concatenating) as this will return the current $number then increment the value.
