Need to loop a block of code using while loop - php

Question

The content is comming from a query and I dont whant to manually generate a long and repetitive block of code, so I thoght it would work nice if I put the first chunk into a while loop but, nothing good comes out of it.
Here is what I got so far...
<?php
$bloq_1 = array(1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10);
$blnu_1 = '1';
while( $bloq_1=$numeral_1) {
echo $numeral_1="<article class=\"notxtras\">
<a class=\"notxtras_url_cntn\" href=\"cdn.php?".$tema_s[$blnu_1++]['pltfrm']."=".$tema_s[$blnu_1++]['notid']."\" title=\"".$tema_s[$blnu_1++]['ttl']."\">
<div class=\"notxtras_img_cntn\">
<img src=\"http://cadenanoticias.mx/img/miniatura/".$tema_s[$blnu_1++]['pic1'] ."\" alt=\"".$tema_s[$blnu_1++]['rlcn'] ."\">
</div>
<h1 class=\"notxtras_ttl_cntn\">".$tema_s[$blnu_1++]['ttl']."</h1>
<p class=\"notxtras_brv_cntn\">".$tema_s[$blnu_1++]['brv'] ."</p>
<p class=\"notxtras_dsp_cntn\">Por: ".$tema_s[$blnu_1++]['aut'] ." • ".$tema_s[$blnu_1++]['cdd']." • ".ucfirst(strftime("%A %e de %B del %Y",date(strtotime($tema_s[$blnu_1++]['fch'])))) ."</p>
</a>
</article>";
}
?>
Is it posible?

Answer 1

I have three suggestions/comments:
If the content comes from a query, it would probably be better to use foreach to iterate over the actual query results (which appear to be stored in $tema_s), rather than iterating over a range of numbers. I don't know exactly how $tema_s is populated, but if it's like most other query results I've seen, you're probably missing item 0 if you use [1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10]. If you're doing this in order to only show ten results, it would be much better to add a LIMIT clause to your query so you won't be fetching more data than you need.
In cases where you find yourself echoing lots of HTML, it may be better to exit from PHP to produce the HTML, and just echo values from PHP where you need them. This will prevent the annoyance of escaping all those quotes, and the mess it will create when you miss one (not saying you have in this case, but it's quite easy to do.)
None of your variables have been properly escaped for HTML output.
Adjusting the code according to these ideas would be something like this:
<?php
foreach ($tema_s as $item):
$query_string = urlencode($item['pltfrm']. '=' .$item['notid']);
$title = htmlspecialchars($item['ttl']);
$src = urlencode($item['pic1']);
$alt = htmlspecialchars($item['rlcn']);
$date = ucfirst(strftime("%A %e de %B del %Y", date(strtotime($item['fch']))));
?>
<article class="notxtras">
<a class="notxtras_url_cntn" href="cdn.php?<?= $query_string ?>" title="<?= $title ?>">
<div class="notxtras_img_cntn">
<img src="http://cadenanoticias.mx/img/miniatura/"<?= $src ?>" alt="<?= $alt ?>">
</div>
<h1 class="notxtras_ttl_cntn"><?= $title ?></h1>
<p class="notxtras_brv_cntn"><?= htmlspecialchars($item['brv']) ?></p>
<p class="notxtras_dsp_cntn">
Por: "<?= htmlspecialchars($item['aut']) ?>
• <?= htmlspecialchars($item['cdd']) ?>
• <?= $date ?>
</p>
</a>
</article>";
<?php endforeach; ?>
Also, as mentioned in the comments on your question, you should consider looking into a template system, such as twig. It may seem like overkill for what you're doing here, but it takes care of a lot of this kind of stuff for you.

This should work:
<?php
$bloq_1 = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10);
foreach ($bloq_1 as $blnu_1) {
echo "<article class=\"notxtras\">
<a class=\"notxtras_url_cntn\" href=\"cdn.php?" . $tema_s[$blnu_1]['pltfrm'] . "=" . $tema_s[$blnu_1]['notid'] . "\" title=\"" . $tema_s[$blnu_1]['ttl'] . "\">
<div class=\"notxtras_img_cntn\">
<img src=\"http://cadenanoticias.mx/img/miniatura/" . $tema_s[$blnu_1]['pic1'] . "\" alt=\"" . $tema_s[$blnu_1]['rlcn'] . "\">
</div>
<h1 class=\"notxtras_ttl_cntn\">" . $tema_s[$blnu_1]['ttl'] . "</h1>
<p class=\"notxtras_brv_cntn\">" . $tema_s[$blnu_1]['brv'] . "</p>
<p class=\"notxtras_dsp_cntn\">Por: " . $tema_s[$blnu_1]['aut'] . " • " . $tema_s[$blnu_1]['cdd'] . " • " . ucfirst(strftime("%A %e de %B del %Y", date(strtotime($tema_s[$blnu_1]['fch'])))) . "</p>
</a>
</article>";
}
