Question

I have an array of products and I need to display them 5 items per row. How can I make it, because now if i do

<?php foreach($data as $entries) : ?>
<td><?php echo $entries->name; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

it doesn’t work. Should I make a counter?

Answer 1

Something like:

$data = range(1, 17);
for($count = 0; $count < count($data);)
{
    echo "<tr>\n";
    for($i = 0; $count < count($data) && $i < 5; $count++, $i++) {
        echo "\t<td>$data[$count]</td>\n";
    }
    for(; $i < 5; $i++) {
        echo "\t<td>-</td>\n";
    }
    echo "</tr>\n";
}

Output

<tr>
    <td>1</td>
    <td>2</td>
    <td>3</td>
    <td>4</td>
    <td>5</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>6</td>
    <td>7</td>
    <td>8</td>
    <td>9</td>
    <td>10</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>11</td>
    <td>12</td>
    <td>13</td>
    <td>14</td>
    <td>15</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>16</td>
    <td>17</td>
    <td>-</td>
    <td>-</td>
    <td>-</td>
</tr>
