Magento PHP HELP

[mike305]

I am looking for some help with a php problem. (I found this forum on google) and was hoping someone in here would be able to help me out.

 

I have a table here: Which list 1 row of 5 of the most recent products I have added to the Magento store.

 

My goal is to get 2 rows of 5 products - to show 10 products all together. It seems simple im sure. But I do not know PHP that well.

 

 

 

^{<?php if (($_products = $this->getProductCollection()) && $_products->getSize()): ?>}

 

^{<table id="new-products-list-table">}

 

^<tr>

   

^{<?php $i=0; foreach ($_products->getItems() as $_product): ?>}

       

^{<?php if ($i>5): continue; endif; ?>}

 

^<td>

^{5 items here}

^</td>

 

^{<?php $i++; endforeach; ?>}

   

^{<?php for($i;$i%5!=0;$i++): ?>}

       

^{<td class="empty"> </td>}

   

^{<?php endfor; ?>}

   

 

^</tr>

 

 

^</table>

 

^{<?php endif; ?>}

 

 

 

Above is just the summery of the code: I was trying to make it more readable on the eye.

 

Here is the full phtml code.

 

 

^{<?php if (($_products = $this->getProductCollection()) && $_products->getSize()): ?>}

^{<table id="new-products-list-table">}

    ^<tr>

    ^{<?php $i=0; foreach ($_products->getItems() as $_product): ?>}

        ^{<?php if ($i>5): continue; endif; ?>}

        ^<td>

            ^{<?php if($_compareUrl=$this->getAddToCompareUrl($_product)): ?>}

                ^{<div class="compare"><a href="<?php echo $_compareUrl ?>"><?php echo $this->__('Compare Item') ?></a></div>}

                ^{<?php endif; ?>}

            ^{<a class="product-image" href="<?php echo $_product->getProductUrl() ?>" title="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>"><img class="product-image" src="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'small_image')->resize(150, 150) ?>" width="150" height="150" alt="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>" title="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>" /></a>}

            ^{<h3 class="product-name"><a href="<?php echo $_product->getProductUrl() ?>" title="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>)"><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?></a></h3>}

            ^{<?php echo $this->getReviewsSummaryHtml($_product, 'short') ?>}

            ^{<?php echo $this->getPriceHtml($_product, true, '-new') ?>}

            ^{<?php if($_product->isSaleable()): ?>}

            ^{<button class="button" onclick="setLocation('<?php echo $this->getAddToCartUrl($_product) ?>')"><span><?php echo $this->__('Add to Cart') ?></span></button>}

            ^{<?php else: ?>}

            ^{<p class="availability"><span class="out-of-stock"><?php echo $this->__('Out of stock') ?></span></p>}

            ^{<?php endif; ?>}

        ^</td>

    ^{<?php $i++; endforeach; ?>}

    ^{<?php for($i;$i%5!=0;$i++): ?>}

        ^{<td class="empty"> </td>}

    ^{<?php endfor; ?>}

    ^</tr>

^</table>

^{<?php endif; ?>}

 

 

 

Thank you for the help..

Sorry your code is confusing to me, but just add another row using <tr> code in here </tr> and continue your $i or counting variable for another 5 products.

Hope that helps. Oh and in the future use the Code Brakets to highlight your code, makes it a hell of a lot easier to read then.
