Auto generated gallery with PHP - php

Question

I have a minimum of 2 images and a maximum of 8 images per page. Depending on the number of images I have it's going to generate a gallery differently.
Here is a diagram of how it should work
8 - 4x4
7 - 4x3
6 - 3x3
5 - 3x2
4 - 4
3 - 3
2 - 2
The first column has the number of total images. The following numbers are images in a row.
Example
If I have 7 images, it should return an array like:
array(4,3)
The final result is that I will loop out 4 images on the first row and then 3 larger images on the second row.
If statements
I could do this with if statements but I guess there could be a way to calculate this?
Solution for everyone
If this is going to be useful for more people then it would need a function like this:
function getGalleryRows($count, $row_limit) {
}
where $count is the number of images and $row_limit is the maximum number of images there can be in a row.

Answer 1

I don't know if I get you right but is this what you want?
function getGalleryRows($count, $row_limit) {
$arr = array();
while ($count > 0){
array_push($arr, (($count > $row_limit) ? $row_limit : $count));
$count -= $row_limit;
}
return $arr;
}
Examples
echo json_encode(getGalleryRows(7,2)); // returns [2,2,2,1]
echo json_encode(getGalleryRows(7,4)); // returns [4,3]
