PHP Foreach Skip Results from Array - php

Question

I'm trying to limit the amount of results that show in my foreach, I've got this so far:
<?php $facilitiescounter = 0; ?>
<?php foreach ($facilities as $data) {
if (++$facilitiescounter == 7) break;
echo '<div class="checkmark-33"><div class="fa-stack fa-1x checkmark-icon"><i class="fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x icon-background"></i><i class="fa fa-check fa-stack-1x icon-text"></i></div><div class="checkmark-inner">'. $data->Name .'</div></div>'; }?>
<a class="read-more-show hide" href="#">Show More</a> <span class="read-more-content">Show all other results from array <a class="read-more-hide hide" href="#">Show Less</a></span>
I have managed to limit it to the first 6 results, is it possible to do another foreach to get all the other results excluding the first six?
Or is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks!

Answer 1

A simple for loop is more appropriate in this case, as we can determine begin and end easily
To the first six results:
for($i = 0, $t = min(6, count($facilities)); $i < $t; ++$i)
{
$facilities[$i]->Name
....
The other ones:
for($i = 6, $t = count($facilities); $i < $t; ++$i)
{
$facilities[$i]->Name
....
Note: added minimum verification in case $facilities has less than 6 elements. Thanks to #lanis

You can use array_slice() http://php.net/manual/fr/function.array-slice.php
$datas = array_slice($facilities, 0, 6); // First 6 items
foreach($datas as $data) {
echo '<div class="checkmark-33"><div class="fa-stack fa-1x checkmark-icon"><i class="fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x icon-background"></i><i class="fa fa-check fa-stack-1x icon-text"></i></div><div class="checkmark-inner">'. $data->Name .'</div></div>';
}
$datas = array_slice($facilities, 6); // Items after 6
foreach($datas as $data) {
echo '<div class="checkmark-33"><div class="fa-stack fa-1x checkmark-icon"><i class="fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x icon-background"></i><i class="fa fa-check fa-stack-1x icon-text"></i></div><div class="checkmark-inner">'. $data->Name .'</div></div>';
}

Answer 3

Yes, you can do it as a better way. Just get your $facilities array in some temporary array which is called $temp and then whenever your foreach loop is executing just remove that element from the $temp array. After that you just replace $facilities array with the $temp.

<?php $facilitiescounter = 0; ?>
<?php foreach ($facilities as $data) {
if (++$facilitiescounter <= 7) break;
echo '<div class="checkmark-33"><div class="fa-stack fa-1x checkmark-icon"><i class="fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x icon-background"></i><i class="fa fa-check fa-stack-1x icon-text"></i></div><div class="checkmark-inner">'. $data->Name .'</div></div>'; }?>

i have changed the if condition only. it will give you proper result. try it!
