Question

I am currently trying to find a good solution for what to do with this

$all_products

this is an array with 7 products and i need to loop through them to create the dynamic page but i have kind of a structure issue with the page

<div class="left-pane left">
  <div class="item">
  </div>
  <div class="item">
  </div>
  <div class="item">
  </div>
  <div class="item">
  </div>
  <div class="item">
  </div>
</div>
<div class="right-pane left">
  <div class="item">
  </div>
  <div class="item">
  </div>
  <div class="item">
  </div>
  <div class="item">
  </div>
  <div class="item">
  </div>
</div>

How will I know how many to put in the right and the left and can i alternate between then or do i need to do something like (count($all_product) / 2) on the left and then the rest on the right pane. Also how do i loop only half on one side using. how do i find out what to do because the array will be different count every time

<?php foreach ($all_products as $product) { ?>

You can construct each half separately by using something like:

$i = 0;
$left  = '<div class="right-pane left">';
$right = '<div class="right-pane right">';

foreach ($products as $product) {
    if ($i++ % 2 == 0) {
        $left  .= '<div class="item">' . $product . '</div>';
    } else {
        $right .= '<div class="item">' . $product . '</div>';
    }
}

$left  .= '</div>';
$right .= '</div>';
