Loop horizontally

[son.of.the.morning]

This sounds stupid, i know. I want to create a foreach loop that will display 3 records per row. For example when you go on play.com and you query something you get a tile view of items. Can anyone help me?

You'll use a counter to determine when it's time to insert a new row in your table. Increment it each time, and use if($counter%3==0) to determine when to do the html for ending/starting the row.

have you a full example so i can make head and tail of it, please. Sorry to be a pain.

<?php 

// Make dummy array
$array = range(0,32);

// This will keep track of how many rows we've echo'd
$i = 0;
// This tells us how many columns
$cols = 3;
$total = count( $array );

echo '<table><tr>';
foreach( $array as $value ) {
// Echo the value in a cell
echo '<td style="border:1px solid black;">'.$value.'</td>';
// Increase our counter by 1 before we check
$i++;
// Check to see if we need to start a new row by using the modulus operator
// It'll give us the remainder of the two numbers divided.
// We check if $i != $total to make sure we don't have a redundant empty row
// at the end
if( ($i % $cols) == 0 && $i != $total ) echo '</tr><tr>'; // Start a new row
}
// Now after the foreach, if we have an odd number of results, we'll have an
// extra empty column we need to fill, we can do this automatically
while( ($i % $cols) != 0 ) {
echo '<td> </td>';
$i++;
}
echo '</tr></table>';

?>
