Second row from MySql Database - php

Question

I am pulling rows from a MySql DB, and I want to enter a line break on the 2nd row.
for ($i = 1; $i <= mysql_num_rows($result); $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$status = $row ['status'];
echo "$status";
}
if ($i % 4 == 0) {
echo '';
}
Is there a way of knowing if it is the 2nd row? Im guessing its something to do with $i?
Sorry if it is a silly question!

Answer 1

You're right. It has something to do with the $i variable.
If you want to enter it the 2nd row only you can evaluate $i==2. Also you could add it every 2nd row by evaluating $i % 2 == 0
This results in the following code:
for ($i = 1; $i <= mysql_num_rows($result); $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$status = $row ['status'];
echo "$status";
if ($i == 2){ // Or replace the evaluation with $i % 2 == 0
echo '<br />'; //HTML linebreak
//echo '\n'; //This is for a newline character.
}
}
if ($i % 4 == 0) {
echo '';
}

Answer 2

This should do it:
for ($i = 1; $i <= mysql_num_rows($result); $i++) {
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$status = $row['status'];
echo "$status";
if ($i == 2) {
echo "\n"; //line break
}
}
if ($i % 4 == 0) {
echo '';
}
If you want an HTML line break, use:
echo "<br/>";
Your indenting might lead you to think the $i mod 4 is inside of the for loop when in fact it is not.
No questions are silly :)
