Hi everyone, I am still learning PHP, I am getting better a little, but i am still struggle with while and foreach loop to create few columns. I create one column with while or foreach, but I couldn't figure to create few columns intsead of one long column. Can you help me or make any suggest? Thank you so much

This question has been asked almost exactly: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20982768/wrap-multi-column-div-around-image I apologize for asking here but the question is almost a year old, and I can't add a comment to it anyways. This is killing me. I'm trying to achieve the same thing only with 3 columns. I have to match a printed publication with no other options. I know the width of images, but the text will always be different lengths. Width of an image will always be 1 or 2 columns, height will always be different. Sometimes there is more than one image lined up vertically. Same widths, different heights. Open up any magazine and you will see what I am talking about. Column span seems to be all or 1, and I am uncomfortable with it's browser support. I'd also have to perfectly position it inside the content text, and because I want to automate things this isn't an option. Am I incorrect? View my current work here: http://www.cswea.org/mag_templates/ The code looks like this: <div style="margin-left:300px;margin-right:300px;"> <div style="margin-left:10px;margin-bottom:10px;display:inline-block;float:right;background-color:blue;width:600px;height:500px;"></div> <div style="display:inline-block;float:left;-webkit-column-count: 3;-moz-column-count: 3;column-count: 3;-webkit-column-gap: 20px;-moz-column-gap: 20px;column-gap: 20px;-webkit-column-rule: 1px outset grey;-moz-column-rule: 1px outset grey;column-rule: 1px outset grey;"> <?php include("content.php"); ?> </div> </div> content.php is 4 P tags with the garbage text inside. As you see, it matches what the OP in the first link is trying to do. If I could post a follow up question/comment that isn't an answer I'd post there. If I remove the columns, the text wraps the way I want it to but it won't fly. Absolutely MUST be 3 columns wrapped around these images and I feel like I'm against a wall here. All my research and googling, or following links from that stack overflow post tells me this isn't possible. I like to believe that in the world of html and css, anything is possible. My other option is a non column divided div, but that means I would have to develop an intelligent way to divide the text up into each div so it looks natural like a magazine article. content.php will always be a list of paragraph tags filled with any length of text so getting the desired result is no simple task. Any tips tricks or hints? Is there somewhere that I can submit the need for this to those involved with what is in the next versions of CSS or HTML? I'm sure if there is that many have already submitted so maybe one more person will help? Is there an HTML5 solution I'm missing? Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! [EDIT] The PDF of the magazine I am working with is here: http://www.cswea.org/magazine/CS_Fall2014_RICH.pdf On page 24-27, the plant profile article, this is what I need to reproduce. [EDIT]

Hi guys, before I get to the main part of my question, I first wanted to ask whether there is a maximum number of values you should store in an array. If for example you have 5000 boxes that people can choose from and eventually all 5000 boxes will be chosen, is it save to store all of the chosen boxes in an array? For example box1,box5,box7,box21 are already chosen, then someone chooses box2,box3,box4 and it adds to the same array, is that feasible with up to 5000 values in total? My thoughts on it were that it would probably be more feasible than giving each box it's own column!? Secondly, assuming the above is ok, how would I go about ensuring nobody could choose a box already chosen? Basically, if somebody chooses box3 and box4, how can I check that these don't exist in the column before adding them so they don't duplicate? Hope this makes some sense and isn't just gobblydeegook! Finally, if somebody in the Users table chooses box3 and box4 from SaleID5, what would be the best way of storing what they've chosen in the User table to use the data when they're viewing what they've got?! Many thanks in advance guys.

hi once again im in need of help what i need is a double column one with a drop down box called type of business and one hidden one with the id, to me it would seem easier to simply code all of the options in html but the options for type of columns has been coded onto the website, i got a code sent over to me but errors are occurring so just wondering if anybody has any ideas. <td>Type of Business:</td> <select name="typeofbusiness" id="typeofbusiness"> <?php $count = count($_SESSION['typeofbusiness']); for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) { if($_SESSION['id'][$i]!=$_SESSION['Id']){ ?> <option value="<?php echo $_SESSION['id'][$i];?>" <?php if (isset($_REQUEST['typeofbusiness'])&&$_REQUEST['typeofbusiness']==$_SESSION['id'][$i]) { echo'selected="selected"'; }?>><?php echo $_SESSION['typeofbusiness'][$i];?></option> <?php } } ?> ( ! ) Notice: Undefined variable: _SESSION in C:\wamp\www\AddLeads\addeadstemplate.php on line 248 Call Stack # Time Memory Function Location 1 0.0000 186688 {main}( ) ..\addeadstemplate.php:0 any help will be greatly appreciated.

I wrote the following code to display messages from the database. Currently it produces a long list, I'm trying to figure out how to break this list up into two columns to shorten the length of the page. Any help is appreciated! $output .= "<div class=\"selector\">\n"; $output .= "<form method=\"post\">\n"; if ($type == "new") { $output .= "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"type\" value=\"new\">\n"; $output .= getPhaseDD("phase", $phase) . " "; $output .= "Day:" . getDayDD($day) . " "; $output .= "Number:" . getNumDD($num) . " "; } else { $output .= "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"type\" value=\"existing\">\n"; $output .= "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"phase\" value=\"{$phase}\">\n"; $output .= "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"day\" value=\"{$day}\">\n"; $output .= "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"num\" value=\"{$num}\">\n"; $output .= "<div>Phase: {$phase}, Day: {$day}, Number: {$num}</div>"; } if ($type == "new") { $output .= "<div><textarea name=\"msg\" rows=\"8\" cols=\"50\" id=\"msg\" onkeyup=\"javascript:countTXT(this, 'cnt', 160);\" onkeydown=\"javascript:countTXT(this, 'cnt', 160);\">" . stripslashes($msg) . "</textarea></div>\n"; $output .= "<div id=\"cnt\"></div>\n"; } else { $output .= "<div><textarea name=\"msg\" id=\"msg_{$day}_{$num}\" onkeyup=\"javascript:countTXT(this, 'cnt_{$day}_{$num}', 160);\" onkeydown=\"javascript:countTXT(this, 'cnt_{$day}_{$num}', 160);\">" . stripslashes($msg) . "</textarea></div>\n"; $output .= "<div id=\"cnt_{$day}_{$num}\"></div>\n"; } $output .= "<div>\n"; if ($type == "new") { $output .= "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"create_btn\" value=\"Create\" class=\"create_btn\">\n"; } else { $output .= "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"update_btn\" value=\"Update\" class=\"update_btn\"> \n"; $output .= "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"delete_btn\" value=\"Delete\" class=\"delete_btn\" onclick=\"javascript:return confirmDelete();\">\n"; } $output .= "</div>\n"; $output .= "</form>\n"; $output .= "</div>\n"; if ($type == "new") { $output .= "<script type=\"text/javascript\">countTXT(document.getElementById('msg'), 'cnt', 160);</script>\n"; } else { $output .= "<script type=\"text/javascript\">countTXT(document.getElementById('msg_{$day}_{$num}'), 'cnt_{$day}_{$num}', 160);</script>\n"; } return $output;
