Question

I am trying to write PHP code to loop through an array to create an HTML table. I have been trying to do something like:

<div id="results">
<table class="sortable">
    <?php $results = $statement->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); ?>
    <?php do: ?>
        <tr>
            <?php for ($i = 0; $i < count($columns); $i++): ?>
                 <td><?php echo $row[$i] ?></td>
            <?php endfor; ?>
        </tr>
    <?php while (($row = next($results)) != false); ?>
</table>
</div>

So 2 questions:

1. Is there an equivalent do-while
   syntax as there is a for, if, or foreach syntax in
   PHP, where you can split the PHP
   code up and have HTML in between?

2. What is this called when you split
   PHP code up with HTML in between?
   (if there is a special term for it)

Answer 1

I do not know of a do while syntax that behaves like that, but you can still end your PHP block like this:

<div id="results">
<table class="sortable">
    <?php $results = $statement->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); ?>
    <?php do { ?>
        <tr>
            <?php for ($i = 0; $i < count($columns); $i++): ?>
                 <td><?php echo $row[$i] ?></td>
            <?php endfor; ?>
        </tr>
    <?php } while (($row = next($results)) != false); ?>
</table>
</div>
