New Row every x loops

Hi, i need to make the table create a new row every 5 for loops so that the data would like like

x x x x x
x x x x x
x x x x x
x x

help appreciated

 

$newrow = 0;
echo "<tr>";
for($i=0; $i<100; $i++){
 echo "<td>data</td>";
 $newrow++;
if($newrow == 5) echo "</tr><tr>";
}

PHP:

Did not test the code. This code will give you basic idea that how can you do it.

 

You can also use the modulus operator to avoid many if/else statements or counter resetting.

if ($newrow % 5 == 0)
{
    echo "</tr><tr>\n";
}

PHP:

 

Assuming you have an array of data items $items (could just as easily be a while loop fetching from the database):

echo "<table>";
$column = 0;
foreach ($items as $item)
{
   if (!$column)
      echo "<tr>";
   echo "<td>{$item}</td>";
   $column++;
   $column %= 5;
   if (!$column)
      echo "</tr>";
}
if ($column)
   echo "</tr>";
echo "</table>";

PHP:

Untested but you can see what's going on...

 

thanks! it works :0
