Create line breaks in output based on array index - php

Question

I want to display output like this:
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 1 2
I've tried this code:
$num = ['1','2','3','4','....'];
$size = sizeof($num) / 4;
foreach ($num as $key => $value) {
echo $value;
if($key >= round($size){
echo "<br>"
}
}
But the output is like this:
1 2 3 4
5
6
7
8
...
Can anyone suggest how to write the loop?

Answer 1

$num= ['1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9'];
$size = sizeof($num) / 4;
foreach ($num as $key => $value){
echo $value;
if(($key+1) % 4 == 0){
echo "<br>";
}
}
You can use modulus instead of round. Cool I didn't know about sizeOf! Good to know. Mark this as the right answer pwease if this works!
Another way to do this if you didn't want to write out all the numbers that are in the Num Array is to just push them into an array with a while loop.
$num= [];
$i = 1;
//Set the Num Variable to have as many numbers as you want without having to manually enter them in
while ($i < 100) {
array_push($num, $i);
$i++;
}
//Run the actual code that adds breaks ever 4 lines
$size = sizeof($num) / 4;
foreach ($num as $key => $value){
echo $value;
if(($key+1) % 4 == 0){
echo "<br>";
}
}

Answer 2

Sorry if this answer looks the same as the first answer but I will explain it clearer
To achieve what you want
Step 1: Create a for loop
The loop will start from 1 to it's total size of the array
for ($x = 1; $x <= sizeof($num); $x++){
}
Then inside your loop
you can use ternary for simplicity
This line of code
# if $x variable is equal to limit number which you wanted to break
# $num[$x-1] -> subtract to by 1 because we know array always start at index 0
if ($x % 4 == 0) {
$num[$x-1]."<br>"; #put a break after it
} else {
echo $num[$x-1];
}
is same as this
echo ($x % 4 == 0) ? $num[$x-1]."<br>" : $num[$x-1];
So try this
<?php
$num= ['1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','10','11','12','13','14','15','16'];
$size = sizeof($num) / 4;
for ($x = 1; $x <= sizeof($num); $x++){
echo ($x % 4 == 0) ? $num[$x-1]."<br>" : $num[$x-1];
}

Answer 3

You can try this:
$numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 8, 19, 20];
$len = 1;
foreach ($numbers as $number) {
echo $number . ' ';
$len++;
if ($len > 4) {
echo '<br>';
$len = 1;
}
}
