[SOLVED] excluding first and last row

[jakebur01]

How could I get this to exclude the first and last row?

foreach($html->find('span[class=mqEmp], span[class=Black11]') as $e)
    echo $e->plaintext . '<br>';

 

Example: if the above returns...

 

112 test drive 99999

bob smith

384 california circle

new park,

CA

99999

john doe

384 california circle

rockport,

CA

94939

How could I get rid of the first and last lines?

$i=0;
foreach($html->find('span[class=mqEmp], span[class=Black11]') as $e)
    if($i > 0 && $i < 11){
        echo $e->plaintext . '<br>';
    }

}

That won't work, since you're not incrementing $i, try this instead:

<?php
$i = 0;
$tmp = $html->find('span[class=mqEmp], span[class=Black11]');
$cnt = count($tmp);
foreach($tmp as $e)
    if($i > 0 && $i < $cnt){
        echo $e->plaintext . '<br>';
    }
    $i++;
}
?>

nevermind... Got it. THANKS!!

$i = 0;
$tmp = $html->find('span[class=mqEmp], span[class=Black11]');
$cnt = count($tmp);
foreach($tmp as $e) {
    if($i > 0 && $i < $cnt){
        echo $e->plaintext . '<br>';
    }
    $i++;
}

For some reason it is not excluding the last row. However, it is excluding the first.

Wait I think I got it. I added this in:

$cnt = count($tmp);
$cnt = $cnt-1;

Sorry, my mistake.

 

You can write those two lines as

<?php
$cnt = count($tmp) - 1;
?>
