Question

Is there a way to print a set number of items in an array?

So for example, print the first 3 items in $array. Then later on print the next 3 items in $array.

Any suggestions?

Thanks alot

Answer 1

function stepArray($array, $step) {
    static $location = 0;

    $started = $location;

    while ($location < ($started + $step) && isset($array[$location])) {
        echo $array[$location];

        $location++;
    }
}

That’s just off the top of my head, and assumes the array is numbered sequentially. The static variable keeps track of where you were in the array, no matter how many times you call it. So calling

stepArray($array, 3);

Would print the first three elements, then

stepArray($array, 2);

Would print the next two, etc.
