You can achieve this output by using Arrays.
we will create three arrays for given three static divs.
try the following code.
The variable $i is not for loop iteration so if you are using $i for iteration please replace the following $i with other name.
$i=1;
$first_arr=array();
$sec_arr=array();
$third_arr=array();
while(database loop condition)
{
if($i==1)
{
$val=' <div class="first-div">'.$row['column'].'</div>';//$val is a variable from database query result
array_push($first_arr,$val);
$i++;
}
elseif($i==2)
{
$val=' <div class="second-div">'.$row['column'].'</div>';//$val is a variable from database query result
array_push($sec_arr,$val);
$i++;
}
elseif($i==3)
{
$val=' <div class="second-div">'.$row['column'].'</div>';//$val is a variable from database query result
array_push($sec_arr,$val);
$i=1;
}
}
$first_div=implode('',$first_arr);
$sec_div=implode('',$sec_arr);
$third_div=implode('',$third_arr);
echo '<div class="static-div">'.$first_div.'</div>
<div class="static-div">'.$sec_div.'</div>
<div class="static-div">'.$third_div.'</div>';
