Question

I am trying to get some help in PHP so I can add a class or ID to each individual item returned in a loop. I am using a piece of code (see below) to return taxonomies (locations). I have all my 32 locations returned perfectly and displayed on my site. However, I cannot individually style each location via css as there is no unique class associated with each of them.

Each block that is returned looks like this on the frontend

<div class="block">
<a href="http://example.com/location/new-york">
    <h2>
        <a href="http://example.com/location/new-york">
        Antrim
        <br>
        <span>(1 Farmer)</span>
        </a>
    </h2>

which repeats for all locations returns. As you can see there would be no way to actually style each individually which is what I require.

My code which returns the locations is as follows. I have tried googling and a few different ways to do it, but feel I am out of my league and thought I would ask the experts here for some help!

Thanks

Update
Thanks to some of the help I have implemented this code, but still can’t get it to work!

I added this to the global variables on line 8
$i = 0; // initialise incrementing variable

I then added this just before the div as u can see with the extra class I am trying to echo

// I added this line as suggested just before my div
<?php foreach ( $all_terms as $all_term) { ?>

// I then added a new class but I was not sure how to write this
<div class="block" class="<?php echo "post-" . $i; ?>">

Just before the closing div tag (about 100 lines later) I add the closing code

 $i++; // increment it
}

As @sushanth reddy said, it should really be as simple as

$i = 0; // initialise incrementing variable
foreach ( $all_terms as $all_term) {
    // rest of your code; use $i when you want your incrementing ID / class

    $i++; // increment it
}
