Question

I want to create a loop in php which start again from 1 after reaching a specific number assigned in variable.
Loop has to run 10 time
But after reaching 5 as i++ i want this loop to start again from 1 something as given below.
1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5
Please help!!

Answer 1

You might want to use the modulo operator, %. This will cause numbers to "cycle" like what you want.
for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
echo ($i % 5) + 1;
}
The above will print out the numbers 1 through 5 twice.

Answer 2

Try -
$count = 0;
for ($i = 1 ; $i <= 10; $i++) {
$count++;
echo $count;
if ($count == 5) {
$count = 0;
echo "</br>";
}
}

Answer 3

Try this:
$i=1;
while($i<=10)
{
echo $i;
$i++;
if($i>5)
{
$i=1;
echo "</br>";
}
}

Answer 4

You can try this:-
$count = 10;
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++)
{
if($i != ($count-1)){$coma = ',';}else{$coma = '';}
$value = ($i % 5)+1;
$output = $value.$coma;
echo $output;
}
Output:- 1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5

Answer 5

<?php
$loop=1;
for($i=1;$i<=10;$i++)
{
echo $loop;
if($i==5)
{
$loop=0;
echo "</br>";
}
$loop++;
}
?>
Output:
12345
12345
This can be achieved without using loop also please find the below 2 functions helpful
First:
function createDateRangeArray($strDateFrom,$strDateTo)
{
// takes two dates formatted as YYYY-MM-DD and creates an
// inclusive array of the dates between the from and to dates.
// could test validity of dates here but I'm already doing
// that in the main script
$aryRange=array();
$iDateFrom=mktime(1,0,0,substr($strDateFrom,5,2), substr($strDateFrom,8,2),substr($strDateFrom,0,4));
$iDateTo=mktime(1,0,0,substr($strDateTo,5,2), substr($strDateTo,8,2),substr($strDateTo,0,4));
if ($iDateTo>=$iDateFrom)
{
array_push($aryRange,date('Y-m-d',$iDateFrom)); // first entry
while ($iDateFrom<$iDateTo)
{
$iDateFrom+=86400; // add 24 hours
array_push($aryRange,date('Y-m-d',$iDateFrom));
}
}
return $aryRange;
}
Second:
$st_date = '2012-07-20';
$ed_date = '2012-07-27';
$dates = range(strtotime($st_date), strtotime($ed_date),86400);
$range_of_dates = array_map("toDate", $dates);
print_r($range_of_dates);
function toDate($x){return date('Y-m-d', $x);}
These 2 functions will be returning you the dates between the 2 dates you will pass and then you can loop on the output array to perform operations
