PHP foreach with table rows - php

Question

I have this PHP script here
$z = range(2, 123);
echo '<table width="100%">';
foreach($z as $x){
echo '<td><img src="http://www.mysite.net/' . $x . '/5.jpg" width=200></td>';
}
echo '</table>';
What I am trying to do is get 6 items in the table row and then a new row...how would I do this?
Thanks,
J

Answer 1

Here the modulo operator comes in. You can divide and calculate the remainder. Everytime the remainder is 0 you add a new row:
$z = range(2, 123);
echo '<table width="100%">';
echo '<tr>';
$cnt = 2;
foreach($z as $x){
if ( ($cnt - 2) % 6 == 0 ) {
echo '</tr><tr>';
}
$cnt++;
echo '<td><img src="http://www.mysite.net/' . $x . '/5.jpg" width=200></td>';
}
echo '</tr>';
echo '</table>';

Answer 2

If you want your codes nice and clean, always separate data manipulation from presentation code. Thus, move as much logic away from output, as possible.
So, first prepare your data
<?
$data = range(2, 123);
$data = array_chunk($data, 6);
?>
and then output it
<table width="100%">
<? foreach($data as $chunk): ?>
<tr>
<? foreach($chunk as $val): ?>
<td>
<img src="/<?=$val?>/5.jpg" width=200>
</td>
<? endforeach ?>
</tr>
<? endforeach ?>
</table>

Answer 3

Try something like this:
$z = range(2, 123);
echo '<table width="100%"><tr>';
foreach($z as $x){
if( ($x - 2) % 6 == 0 ) // Minus 2 because you don't start at 0 but at 2.
{
echo '</tr><tr>';
}
echo '<td><img src="http://www.mysite.net/' . $x . '/5.jpg" width=200></td>';
}
echo '</tr></table>';
The % is a Math function called modulo. More info can be found here.

Answer 4

Use a counter variable.
$z = range(2, 123);
$current_result=0;
echo '<table width="100%">';
echo '<tr>';
foreach($z as $x){
if ($current_result++ % 6 == 0) echo '</tr><tr>';
echo '<td><img src="http://www.mysite.net/' . $x . '/5.jpg" width=200></td>';
}
echo '</tr>';
echo '</table>';`

Answer 5

Well, for a start range(2, 123) is going to produce 122 numbers, so what you want is range(1, 6).
Then you need to fix your script to enclose each table cell in a row element, so your script becomes:
$z = range(1, 6);
echo '<table width="100%">';
foreach($z as $x){
echo '<tr><td><img src="http://www.mysite.net/' . $x . '/5.jpg" width=200></td></tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
Range is a bit of an oddball way of looping 6 times though - you might want to just use a string to build up the table and loop using while, then output the whole table in 1 go.
Edit
Seems I may have missed a point - if you are trying to loop 6 times within the range, then the modulo approach is what you want, although my point about the table row element is still needed otherwise you're not producing valid HTML.

Answer 6

just use any variable for count inside cycle. Increment it and check for you value.
For example
$cnt++;
if ($cnt >= 6) {
$cnt = 0;
echo "</tr><tr>";
}
And don't use foreach. Use for from 2 to 123
