[SOLVED] Loop question

[YourNameHere]

Is there a way to do this?

 

I select some data from a DB and display it into a table using a while loop. I want it to do something every 3 loops. ie. change the table html a little by adding a class to the <td>.

 

                    <? 
				while ($t < $anCount){
				$poster=mysql_result($anResult,$t,poster);
				$text=mysql_result($anResult,$t,text);
				$date=mysql_result($anResult,$t,date);
				echo "<div>
				Posted By: $poster
				<br />
				Posted on: $date
				</div>
				<div>$text</div>";
				$t++;				
				}
				?>

if (!($t % 3)) $class = 'whatever';

else $class = 'blah';

if (!($t % 3)) $class = 'whatever';

else $class = 'blah';

Can you explain what the modulus symbol does?

so that I may understand the other implementations for it.

 

...pleeease!

it gets the remainder of a division for example:

 

5%2=1

4%2=0

10%8=2

Basically it divides the number $t reach in every loop, if the number is divisible by 3 (whith no reminder) then you can do whatever you like otherwise processed.
