First and Last

[unemployment]

How do I tell php to add first and last class at the beginning and end of a while loop.

<?php

 

while (($e_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($e_query)) !== false)

{

?>

    <li class="companyname first last">

                      blah

                    </li>

                <?php

          }

?>

Use http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-num-rows.php to know how much rows you are going to write, then keep a counter variable, when it is 1 then write the "first" when it is the rows number write "last"

[lastkarrde]

Get the number of results returned using mysql_num_rows, then keep a count of a variable (eg $i) and increment it in the loop.

 

Then in the loop

 

if($i == 0)
{
  //first
}

if($i == result from numrows)
{
  // last
}
