[SOLVED] ForEach limited for two items per column

[forzatio]

Hello I have a foreach which outputs all items next to eachother.

I want to limit the output $description to only 2 items per column.

 

How can I echo this in a way that only 2 items are shown per column/row ?

 

This

echo "<td>$description</td>";

    is not limited for 2 items, as you can see.

Im not 100% sure from your description, but i think this is what you are after:

hello, it is not exactly what I mean.

 

$description > displays an image everytime in a new <td> because it's using foreach.

Now I want only two images next to eachother and then two images again on a row below the previous.

 

so like:      <tr><td>image1</td><td>image2</td></tr>   

 

                <tr><td>image3</td><td>image4</td></tr>

 

but then the php should echo it, but because it's a foreach I can't say image1,image2 etc.

That is exacty what that link shows you how to do. If you show us your existing code, we might be able to help you modify it.

foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {

$description = $item[description];
	$url =		$item[link];
$title =	$item[title];




echo "<td>$description</td>";
}


?>

 

I'm using magpierss for rss parsing, I'm having difficulty with breaking the foreach.

Well it should just be a case of applying the techniques used in the link i showed you.

 

<?php
$i = 0;
$max_columns = 2;
foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {

$description = $item[description];
	$url =		$item[link];
$title =	$item[title];

if($i == 0)
   echo "<tr>";		
echo "<td>$description</td>";
if(++$i == $max_columns) 
       {
           echo "</tr>";
           $i=0;
       }  // end if 
}
if($i < $max_columns)
{
    for($j=$i; $j<$max_columns;$j++)
        echo "<td> </td>";
}
?>

}

{

        echo "<td> </td>";
}
?>

hello, the other thread confused me because of a lot of "counter" code, which in that way lays a bit far away from me.

that solution works though, many thanks.
