Question

I have a simple search engine which echo’s out results in a table with CSS formatting, this is working fine, however, i would now like to echo a different image after every 10 results.

thankyou to any one who can help me as I have been stuck on this for hours!

this is my echo output code:

echo "<table width='50%' style='border-bottom:1px solid #000000;'";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>";
echo "<div id='page-wrap'>";
echo "<div class='discounted-item freeshipping'>";

echo "<a href='./img/users/" . $row['category'] . "/" . $row['username'] . "/" . $row['filename'] . "' rel='lightbox'><img src=\"./img/users/" . $row['category'] . "/" . $row['username'] . "/" . $row['filename'] . "\" alt=\"\" width='20%' height='98%' /></a>";


echo "<div class='reasonbar'><div class='prod-title' style='width: 70%;'>" .$row['fname'] . "</div><div class='reason' style='width: 29%;'><b>". $row['firstname'] . " " . $row['surname'] ."</b></div></div>";

echo "<div class='reasonbar'><div class='prod-title1' style='width: 70%;'>" . $row['lname'] . "</div><div class='reason1' style='width: 29%;'>Category: ". $row['category'] . "</div></div>";

echo "<div class='reasonbar'><div class='prod-title2' style='width: 70%;'>Contact:" . $row['contact'] . "</div><div class='reason2' style='width: 29%;'>Price: &pound;". $row['price'] . "</div></div>";


echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "</table>";
}

}

else
    echo "No results found for \"<b>$search</b>\"";

You can use modolus operator to determine that…

if ( ! ($i % 10)) {
    // Alternate.
}

If you don’t have a counter variable at your disposal, just declare one outside of your loop and set it to 0 and increment it for each iteration.
