Create a new row every when $i = 5

[samtwilliams]

I am trying to draw a table dynamically, I need a table that is 5 x 5, i know i'm close quite my code by just can't quite fathom it out. My sql returns 25 results which i want to return 25 cells in a square table.

 

<?PHP
$i = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$i++;
?>
<?PHP
if($i== 5) {
echo '<tr>';
}
?>
<td class="right bottom"><?PHP echo $row['GridID']; ?></td>
<td class="right bottom"> </td>
<td class="right bottom"> </td>
<td class="right bottom"> </td>
<td class="bottom"> </td>


<?PHP
if($i== 5) {
echo '</tr>';
$i=0;
}
?>

Have you tried replacing the statement if($i == 5) with if($i % 5 ==0 ) so at every 5 item its creating a new tr?

You need to end the row BEFORE starting a new one. You're ending the new row you just created.

or use floating divs, 20% wide

 

echo "<div style='width:200px'>\n";
for ($i=1; $i<=25; $i++) {
   echo "<div style='width:20%; float:left; text-align:center; border:1px solid gray;'>
   $i
   </div>";
}
echo "</div>\n";

I need to use tables, still can't get it to work, my table just looks a mess.

echo "<table border='1' style='width:200px; border-collapse:collapse;'>\n";
echo "<tr>";
for ($i=1; $i<=25; $i++) {
echo "<td style='text-align:center; '>
$i
</td>";
if ($i%5==0)
	echo "</tr><tr>";
}
echo "</tr></table>\n";
