Question

If I have the following code:

<?php foreach ($posts as $post): ?>

<li>POST</li>

<?php endforeach; ?>

How would I show an advert in between the posts say every 5 items or just once after 5 items?

I thought about something like $post[5] but not sure if I’m barking up the wrong tree. Any suggestions/feedback and examples would be appreciated.

Assuming the data is uniformly indexed (and if it’s the result of a CakePHP find(), it is):

foreach( $posts as $index => $post ) { 

    // display the post

    if( $index % 5 == 4 ) { // every fifth post or $index == 4 for only the fifth
        // display the ad
    }
}
