Arrays and HTML tables!

[Strydaris]

Ok I am completely new to this whole PHP scripting stuff and really only try to deal with simple scripts and such for my website. It has done me fine until now. I know this is going to be a simple question to answer and probaly has been answerd before but I have spent an hour on this forum and could not find one yet.

 

Anyways here it is...

 

I have an array of lets say something like

 

$my_array = array( 1=> 
		'Numbers',
		'one',
		'two',
		'three',
		'four',
		'five',
		'six',
		'seven',
		'eight',
		'nine',
		'ten',
		'eleven',

 

Now I have been searching for a way to put that array into an html table without any luck.

Want I want to do is have lets say 5 columns and 3 rows where it would be laid out something like this in the end.

 

Numbers|one    |two  |three|four  |

five      |six    |seven|eight|nine |

ten      |eleven|        |        |      |

 

Any help here would be much appiciated!!

Cheers

Try this and see if it is what your looking for:

 

 

<?php

$my_array = array( 1=> 
		'Numbers',
		'one',
		'two',
		'three',
		'four',
		'five',
		'six',
		'seven',
		'eight',
		'nine',
		'ten',
		'eleven');

$count = 1;

foreach ($my_array as $num){

   echo $num.' | ';
   
   if ($count == 5){ 
      echo '<br>';
      $count = 0;
   }

$count++;   
}


?>

its closer then I was... lol I think you misunderstood my little illustration up there but for the most part works. I did the little illustration of a table to show that I wanted to use <table></table> in the code.

 

Thanks... now I need to figure out how to get the HTML code in there. I think I do the the variables for the amount of columns and rows I want to use. Something like $rows and $cols. lol i dont know for sure though.

try this

<?php

$my_array = array( 1=> 
		'Numbers',
		'one',
		'two',
		'three',
		'four',
		'five',
		'six',
		'seven',
		'eight',
		'nine',
		'ten',
		'eleven');

$count = 1;
echo "<table border='1'>";
echo "<tr>";
foreach ($my_array as $num){

   echo "<td>$num</td>";
   
   if ($count == 5){ 
      echo "</tr><tr>";
      $count = 0;
   }

$count++;   
}
//cleanup
while ($count != 1){

   echo "<td> </td>";
   
   if ($count == 5){ 
      echo "</tr><tr>";
      $count = 0;
   }
$count++;   
}


echo "</tr>";
echo "</table>";

?>

 

 

EDIT: added a cleanup for the table
