Answer 1

You can just loop twice, once for each column. Start at 0 in the first column and at 1 in the second. Increment by two.

Edit: To make it even nicer, put the columns themselves in a loop:

$cols = 3;

echo '';

// column loop
for ($c = 1; $c <= $cols; $c++) {
  echo '';
}

echo '
';

  // item loop
  for ($i = 0; $i < count($areaArray); $i += $c) {
     echo '
...
';
  }

  echo '
';
