For loop inside Foreach - php

Question

I got a foreach which loops through my database for each user.
<?php
foreach($users as $user) {
?>
<tr>
<td>
<?php
for ($i=1; $i < 52; $i++) {
echo $i;
}
?>
</td>
<td>
<?php echo $user['firstname']; ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
This loop through database and echos the username, now I tried to build a for loop inside this so that every user has a number, I took as an example a very basic for loop ( it will be changed later).
The problem is that I get all numbers printed out for each user, but I just want to print out the number once for a user. How do I solve this.

Answer 1

If you want unique index number for user, you do not need extra loop.
Just add an increment variable:
And increment it in existing loop.
<?php
$i=0;
foreach($users as $user) {
++$i; // For printing first user, it will be 1 not 0.
// Therefore, increment is placed before printing name.
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $i;?></td>
<td><?php echo $user['firstname']; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>

This should be enough to achieve what you're trying to do :
Your for() isn't needed since foreach() already create a loop, you just have to use this loop to increment a value (here called $i) then display it.
Also you should avoid to open your php tags ten thousands times for a better visibility into your code :)
<?php
$i = 0;
foreach($users as $user) {
$i++;
echo'<tr>
<td>'.$i.'</td>
<td>'.$user['firstname'].'</td>
</tr>';
?>

<?php
$i=1;
foreach($users as $user) {
?>
<tr>
<td>
<?php
echo $i++;
?>
</td>
<td>
<?php echo $user['firstname']; ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>

Try to use the key in foreach
<?php foreach ($users as $key => $user) : ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $key; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $user['firstname']; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
