Question

please i need you help with my script.. I’m trying to echo some content of query into an html table, but i want to break it at every 7th parameter. The script below only breaks the first seven, while the rest are not broken up at interval and they were also echoed out of the html table.

How can I do this please. Thank you for your time and help.

echo "<table class=\"altrowstable\" bgcolor = gold >\n";
$count = 0;

echo "<tr align= \"center\">\n";

$carry_over = array();
$score_count = mysql_numrows($query8);

echo "<td>" . "Failed: ";
if ($score_count !== 0) {
    while ($row8 = mysql_fetch_assoc($query8)) {
        echo "<th>" . $row8['course_code'] . "</th>";
        if ($count == 7) {
            echo "</tr>\n";
            echo "</table>";

        }
    }
}

Use modulo operator instead of equality

if ( ($count+1) % 7 ){

The +1 is there so that it doesn’t break immediately on $count == 0 because 0%n is 0
