[SOLVED] foreach pagination

[Canman2005]

Hi all

 

I have a couple of questions based on

 

foreach ($rss->items as $item)
{
}

 

if you're able to help.

 

1: Is it possible to define a variable that will give me a total number of results in the foreach statement?

 

2: Is it possible to archive a page numbering system with foreach?

 

Thanks everyone

1: Is it possible to define a variable that will give me a total number of results in the foreach statement?

 

You mean, like start a counter and increment it each time it runs?

 

$counter = 0;
foreach ($rss->items as $item)
{
$counter++;
}

 

2: Is it possible to archive a page numbering system with foreach?

 

Sorry?

sorry, I mean a page numbering system, so for example, if you have 10 results in your foreach ststement you could display two of those ten per page over 5 pages

 

if that makes sense

[Canman2005]

with your solution, is it possible just to grab the last value so that rather than

 

1

2

3

4

5

6

 

it would just display 6 as a total?

 

thanks

ok, I have figured out the first issue I had

 

by doing

 

$row = 1;
foreach ($rss->items as $item)
{
$rowsnum = $row++;
}
print $rowsnum;

 

that seemed to work fine.

 

I guess I can figure out page numbering based on the total number returned.

[Canman2005]

and figured out page numbering with

 

$pages = 1;
$totalpages = $rowsnum/2;
for ($i = 0; $i < $totalpages; $i++)
{
print $pages++.'     |     ';
}

solved it

 

thanks for the inital comments, got me on the right track
