Question

Trying to create DIV containers out of a mysql results which each hold chunks of 10.

$balloon_count = the amount of records each div should hold.

$ui = the loop counter.

Functionality is simple, don’t want to a template engine.

Trying to use the MODULUS operator to simplify the div cuts.

Doesn’t work. Any direction is greatly appreciated.

Sample Code

        $ui=1;
        $balloon_holds = 10;

        while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
        {            


            if($ui==1||$ui%$balloon_holds != 0)
                {                    
                echo '<div><table style="width:400px;border:2px solid gray;border-style:dashed;"><tr>';
                echo "<td style=\"font-size:small;vertical-align:text-top;\">";
                }


                echo '<input disabled type="checkbox" value="$row[id]"'; $this->ischecked($uid,$row[id]); echo "/>".$row['name'].'<br>'."\r\n";


                if($ui==10||$ui%$balloon_holds != 0){             
                echo '</td></tr></table></div>';                  
                }



            $ui++; 

        }

Sample Expected “HTML” Output

<div><table style="width:400px;border:2px solid gray;border-style:dashed;"><tr>
<td style="font-size:small;vertical-align:text-top;">         
Record1
Record2
Record3
Record4
Record5
Record6
Record7
Record8
Record9
Record10    
</td></tr></table></div>

<div><table style="width:400px;border:2px solid gray;border-style:dashed;"><tr>
<td style="font-size:small;vertical-align:text-top;">         
Record11
Record12
Record13
Record14
Record15
Record16
Record17
Record18
Record19
Record20    
</td></tr></table></div>           

Answer 1

If I understand the question correctly, you want the <div> opener on $ui = 1,11,21,31,… and the </div> closer on 10,20,30,40,…

If this is correct, your modulus operators should be changed as such:

if($ui%$balloon_holds == 1)
{                    
    ...
}

...

if($ui%$balloon_holds == 0)
{
    ...
}
