Question

I have this PHP script here

$z = range(2, 123);
echo '<table width="100%">';
foreach($z as $x){

echo '<td><a href="http://www.mysite.net/' . $x . '/"><img src="http://www.mysite.net/' . $x . '/5.jpg" width=200></a></td>';
}

echo '</table>';

What I am trying to do is get 6 items in the table row and then a new row…how would I do this?

Thanks,
J

Here the modulo operator comes in. You can divide and calculate the remainder. Everytime the remainder is 0 you add a new row:

$z = range(2, 123);
echo '<table width="100%">';
echo '<tr>';
$cnt = 2;
foreach($z as $x){
if ( ($cnt - 2) % 6 == 0 ) {
echo '</tr><tr>';
}
$cnt++;
echo '<td><a href="http://www.mysite.net/' . $x . '/"><img src="http://www.mysite.net/' . $x . '/5.jpg" width=200></a></td>';
}
echo '</tr>';
echo '</table>';
