php foreach break table - php

Question

Im using tables to store content that's dynamically loaded. It's for a reservation form which will be responsive. What I'm looking to do is break each table row into two if there are more than 5 columns in order for the mobile version to fit on screen.
I'm sure this can be achieved by extending what I already have but can't get it to work.
Here's my current code:
<table>
<tr>
<?php foreach ($hostel->getAvailableDates() as $date): ?>
<th><?php echo $date->getDayOfTheWeek(); ?></th>
<?php endforeach ?>
</tr>
<tr>
<?php foreach ($hostel->getAvailableDates() as $date): ?>
<td>
<?php if($date->getAvailable()) { ?>
<b class="avail tick">Available</b>
<?php } else { ?>
<b class="avail cross">Unavailable</b>
<?php }?>
</td>
<?php endforeach ?>
</tr>
</table>
I'd need to break the loop for each row tr after 5 loops, then add a new row underneath.
I've been experimenting with
$max_loop = 5;
$count = 0;
But no luck so far.

Answer 1

I prefer to reorganize data:
<?php
$availDates = array();
foreach ($hostel->getAvailableDates() as $date) {
$availDates[] = $date;
}
$maxCols = 5;
$chunked = array_chunk( $availDates, $maxCols );
?>
<table>
<?php
foreach ($chunked as $chunk) {
?><tr>
<?php foreach ($chunk as $date): ?>
<th><?php echo $date->getDayOfTheWeek(); ?></th>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</tr>
<tr>
<?php foreach ($chunk as $date): ?>
<td>
<?php if($date->getAvailable()) { ?>
<b class="avail tick">Available</b>
<?php } else { ?>
<b class="avail cross">Unavailable</b>
<?php }?>
</td>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</tr><?php
}
?>
</table>

Look at the mod operator. It should give you what you need.
if($count % $max_loop == 0)

Answer 3

I hope this may help you. thanks.
<?php
$avDates = $hostel->getAvailableDates();
echo "<table><tr>";
foreach($avDates as $i=>$date){ {
if ($i == $max_loop) {
echo "</tr><tr>";
}
echo "<td>".($date->getAvailable() ? '<b class="avail tick">Available</b>' : '<b class="avail cross">Unavailable</b>')."</td>";
}
echo "</tr></table>";
?>

Answer 4

If the value returned by getAvailableDates is an array, you could use a for loop instead of a foreach, and check if the current index is a multiple of five, so you don't have to keep track of the count variable
$avDates = $hostel->getAvailableDates();
for ($i = 0; $i < count($avDates); $i++) {
$date = $avDates[$i];
//do your staff
//if multiple of five add another tr
if ($i % 5 == 0) {
}
}
