Question

I am a little stuck.

I have a Mysql database with items. Each item already has a corresponding rating (0-5).

Now, when I display the list of items, I want to convert the rating in stars.
They may not be clickable.

But how can I display rating stars for each rating?

Like:

Item[1] Rating: 4 => display 4 stars
Item[2] Rating: 2 => display 2 stars
Item[3] Rating: 1 => display 1 star
and so on

I am calling the existing rating like this:

php echo $item['Item']['rating']

Answer 1

str_repeat():

print str_repeat('*', $item['Item']['rating']);
