Answer 1

Hope this solution might help you :
When you want a break after 5,2,5 Y not take that an array array(5,2,5) instead of just break_after=5. break_after=5 will breake the ul at every 5 intervals. I have some change in logic for you :
$data = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12);
$break_after = array(5,2,5);
$counter = 0;
$break_key=0;
$totalNumber = count($data);
foreach ($data as $item){
if ($counter % $break_after[$break_key] == 0){
echo '<ul>';
}
echo '<li>'.$item.'</li>';
if ($counter % $break_after[$break_key] == ($break_after[$break_key]-1) || $counter == $totalNumber-1) {
echo '</ul>';
++$break_key;
$counter = 0;
}else{
++$counter;
}
}
Output for same is :
<ul><li>1</li><li>2</li><li>3</li><li>4</li><li>5</li></ul>
<ul><li>6</li><li>7</li></ul>
<ul><li>8</li><li>9</li><li>10</li><li>11</li><li>12</li></ul>

Answer 2

To achieve what you want use the following:
<?php
$data = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22);
$total = count($data);
foreach ($data as $index => $item)
{
if ($index == 0 || $index == 5 || $index == 7 || ($index > 8 && ($index - 2) % 5 == 0))
{
echo '<ul>';
}
echo '<li>'.$item.'</li>';
if ($index == 4 || $index == 6 || $index == $total - 1 || ($index > 6 && ($index - 2) % 5 == 4)) {
echo '</ul>';
}
}

Answer 3

Pretty much the same answer as varunsinghal and Vivek Tankaria, but refactored to separate the logic and the view:
<?php
$pattern = [5, 2, 5, 5];
$data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18];
if (count($data) < array_sum($pattern)) {
throw new Exception('Please provide at least the same amount of data as lines required in the pattern');
}
?>
<?php foreach ($pattern as $limit): ?>
<ul>
<?php for ($i = 0; $i < $limit; $i++): ?>
<li><?= $data[$i]; ?></li>
<?php endfor; ?>
</ul>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Answer 4

For multiple values in array.
$data = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36);
$break_after = array(5,2,5);
$counter = 0;
$break_key=0;
$totalNumber = count($data);
foreach ($data as $item){
if ($counter % $break_after[$break_key] == 0){
echo '<ul>';
}
echo '<li>'.$item.'</li>';
if ($counter % $break_after[$break_key] == ($break_after[$break_key]-1)) {
echo '</ul>';
++$break_key;
if(count($break_after)==($break_key)){
$break_key=0;
}
$counter = 0;
}else{
++$counter;
}
}
?>

Answer 5

You can try this logic
<?php
$data = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12);
$breakPoint=4;
$ct=1;
echo '<ul>';
foreach($data as $k=>$v){
echo '<li>'.$v.'</li>';
if($breakPoint == $k && $ct==1){
$breakPoint=$breakPoint+2;
$ct=2;
echo '</ul><br/><ul>';
}elseIf($breakPoint == $k && $ct==2){
$breakPoint=$breakPoint+5;
$ct=1;
echo '</ul><br/><ul>';
}
}
echo '</ul>';
?>
Output:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

Answer 6

First break is at 5 so $i will be 4 then 2 elements more so $i will be 6. After this the break is required after every 5 elements, so we have 5+2+5 = 12 elements which gives $i=11 So similarly other break points will be 11 16 21 26 31 36 and so on.
<ul>
<?php
$i=0;
foreach($data as $item){
echo '<li>'.$item.'</li>';
if($i==4 || $i==6 || $i==11 || $i==16 || $i==21 || $i==26){
echo '</ul><ul>';
}
$i++;
}
?>
</ul>
