Start counting from zero again

Hi, I have something like a thread that has posts inside of it. I want to display what post number it is in each post. But in every thread the count should start from zero again like in this forums. How can I do that?

Thanks in advance

 

just keep a seperate variable that you ++ each time you output the posts. You have to be reading the posts from a DB or something, so you would

foreach ( post )
   postvar++
   output( postcontent )

Code (markup):

 

Thanks for the reply, I don't really know how to use foreach();. I am using mysql to display the posts. Each post has a unique ID. How will I code that?

$post_id = $row["pid"];

foreach($post_id)
  $count_post++
  output($post_id)

PHP:

Am I close? and will this work inside while(); ?

 

Just to a search on google for foreach() you can also do this in a while loop, fetching each row of the sql query

$post_count=0;
while($row = fetch_array()){
  echo $row['content'];
  echo $row['pid'];
  echo $post_count;
  $post_count++;
}

Thank you so much that worked
