Question

I need to add a counter to the loop as well as pulling contents. What is the syntax for adding the “and for ($ColCount = ColCount + 1)”

<?php $ColCount = 0?>
<!--get artwork thumbnails --> 
<?php
$dbname = 'pdartist2';
$table = 'artwork';
// query
$result = mysql_query("SELECT AID, ThumbFilePath, Title, DisplayOrder FROM artwork where SCID = '$SCID' ") or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
    foreach($row as $cell)
    and for ($ColCount = ColCount + 1) 

echo "$ColCount", "$cell";
}
mysql_free_result($result);
?>

Answer 1

As Bruce said, you could just do $ColCount++, But also you could just count the results with mysql_num_rows

$result = mysql_query("SELECT AID, ThumbFilePath, Title, DisplayOrder FROM artwork where SCID = '$SCID' ") or die(mysql_error());
$numRows = mysql_num_rows($result);
