HDRebel88 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) On this page I have a bunch of contact information for each individual employee in the company:http://www.kamentertainment.net/contact Everything is grouped together properly except when a category has an odd number of employees. In this case the first employee for the next category is added to the previous category. How do I fix this, so that if a category only has three employees the fourth div cell in the group is generated with a blank div cell? if($staffQuery=mysqli_query($staffConnected, "SELECT `name`, `email`, `department`, `position` FROM `staff` WHERE `class`=2 ORDER BY `department`, `name` ASC")){ $rowNum=1; $cellNum=0; $amountOfStaffReturned=mysqli_num_rows($staffQuery); if($amountOfStaffReturned>0){ $departmentHeader=false; $content.='<div class="emailHeader">Staff Contacts</div>'; while($staff=mysqli_fetch_array($staffQuery, MYSQLI_ASSOC)){ $staffName=$staff['name']; $staffEmail=$staff['email']; $staffDepartment=$staff['department']; $staffPosition=$staff['position']; $rowName=rowName($rowNum); if($rowNum>1){$rowEmailClassAdd=' emailRow';}else{$rowEmailClassAdd='';} if($cellNum%2==0){ if($departmentHeader!=$staffDepartment){$content.='<div class="departmentHeader">'.$staffDepartment.'</div>'; $departmentHeader=$staffDepartment;}else{} if($cellNum!=0){$content.='</div>';}else{} $content.='<div class="overflowclear'.$rowEmailClassAdd.'" id="emailStaff'.ucfirst($rowName).'Row">'; $rowNum++; }else{} $content.=' <div class="emailCell"> <div class="emailTitle">'.$staffName.'</div> <div class="emailSubTitle">'.$staffPosition.'</div> <div><a class="contactemail" href="mailto:'.$staffEmail.'">'.escapeemail($staffEmail).'</a></div> </div>'; if(($amountOfStaffReturned%2!=0 && $cellNum+1==$amountOfStaffReturned)){ $content.='<div class="emailCell"> </div> </div>'; }else{} $cellNum++; } }else{} } Edited July 21, 2013 by HDRebel88 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/280365-moving-a-div-with-php/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDRebel88 Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Just to clear things up a bit, the Assistants group should only have three employees in it, Information Technology should also have three (Dennis O'Neal) should be moved down to the IT group, the Post-Production group should have three, the Production group should have four, and the sales group should have three.

DarkSuperHero Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Your code is littered with extra empty else statements....try to make your code easier to read, it makes it easier for people to want to help....

The cell that needs to be moved is removed and replaced with the blank cell... however, the removed cell isn't placed in to it's proper department... it just disappears. I'm probably missing something here but not sure what...

mac_gyver Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 here is the basic LOGIC you need to detect when to close the previous section, start a new section, and output data under a section - $departmentHeader=false; while( ... ){ $staffDepartment=$staff['department']; // detect a change in the department header if($departmentHeader!=$staffDepartment){ // the department changed (or is the first one) if($departmentHeader != false){ // not the first section, close out the previous section here... } $departmentHeader=$staffDepartment; // save the header // start a new section here... } // output the data under each section here... } // close out the final section here...
