Questions:
<?php foreach($products as $product) : ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>main/products/<?php echo $product->id; ?>">
<?php echo $product->name; ?> </a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
So the code above get’s all records in a DB and generates links. 100 Records in the table – I want to split the design into 5 col. So I will do that in CSS but I need to be able to enclose
<ul> on every 20 records</ul>
How can i count the loop and do this?
How to&Answers:
Do like this , this will solve your problem
<?php
*$i = 0;*
echo "<ul>";
foreach($products as $product) :
if($i % 20 == 0) echo "</ul><ul>";
?>
<li><a href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>main/products/<?php echo $product->id; ?>">
<?php echo $product->name; ?> </a></li>
<?php
//if($i % 20 == 0) echo "</ul>";
$i += 1;
endforeach;
echo "</ul>";
?>
*edit- set $i = 0; since arrays count from [0] by setting it to [1] makes the first col have 19 instead of 20. By setting it to [0] Each col has 20. 🙂 Thanks again ~fabio
Answer：
This should work
<?php $products = array('1','2','3','4','5','6','8', 9, 10, 11, 12);?>
<?php $count = 0?>
<?php foreach($products as $product) : ?>
<?php $count = $count + 1; ?>
<?= (($count == 5) ? "<ul>" : '' )?>
<li><a href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>main/products/"></a></li>
<?= (($count == 5) ? "</ul>" : '')?>
<?php (($count == 5) ? $count = 0 : '' )?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
Answer：
<?php
$i = 1;
echo "<ul>";
foreach($products as $product) :
if($i % 20 == 0) echo "</ul><ul>";
?>
<li><a href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>main/products/<?php echo $product->id; ?>">
<?php echo $product->name; ?> </a></li>
<?php
$i += 1;
endforeach; echo "</ul>"; ?>
Answer：
Checkout php’s array_slice method. It will allow you to slice the array into smaller arrays of 20 objects each.
Answer：
<?php $i=0;
echo "<ul>";
foreach($products as $product) :
if($i%8==0&&$i!=0) echo "</ul><ul>"; ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>main/products/<?php echo $product->id; ?>">
<?php echo $product->name; ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php $i+=1;
endforeach;
echo "</ul>"; ?>
