Closed 7 years ago.
Using codeigniter framework i have this code here
<?php
foreach ($allposts as $posts) {
echo '<div class="col-sm-1">
<div class="thumbnail">
<img class="img-responsive user-photo" src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/accounts/ui/avatar_2x.png">
</div><!-- /thumbnail -->
</div><!-- /col-sm-1 -->
<div class="col-sm-11">
<div class="panel panel-default companel">
<div class="panel-heading companel-heading">
<strong>'.$posts->author_name.'</strong> <span class="text-muted">'.unix_to_human($posts->post_date).'</span>
</div>
<div class="panel-body">
'.$posts->post.'
</div><!-- /panel-body -->
</div><!-- /panel panel-default -->
</div><!-- /col-sm-11 -->';
}
?>
now i want to except first result or first post in my case ? it is possible
and another question may i do something like display posts but one by one i mean align one right and second one left?

Answer 1

You can initialize a variable outside the foreach and count inside the iteration.
$count=0;
foreach($allposts as $posts)
{
$count++; // incrememnt
if($count==1)
{
// this is the first post
}
}
Option 2:
Use for loop instead of foreach
for($i=0; $i<=count($allposts); $i++)
{
if($i==0) // this is the first post.
echo $allposts[$i];
}
Using CSS to float your posts:
.post:nth-child(odd){
float: left;
}
.post:nth-child(even){
float: right;
}

Answer 2

You can declare a var $count outside the foreach loop, initilize it to 0 and increment it at the end of the loop. At the beginning of the loop check if the $count variable is 0 - if that is the case - skip the echo.
To display one row aligned to the left and one to the right check the same $count variable: if $count%2 == 0 then align one direction else the other.

Answer 3

foreach($value as $k => $v)
{
if($k === 0)
{
continue;
}
// rest your case
}
