I would like to create a new containing For my self-study-project I have to made a product page with
As tadman stated in the comment under your question. The best approach should use a modulus operator (%
) with 3
.
Place your separating condition at the start of each iteration. (Demo)
Like this:
$x=0; // I prefer to increment starting from zero.
// This way I can use the same method inside a foreach loop on
// zero-indexed arrays, leveraging the keys, and omit the `++` line.
echo "<div class=\"row\">";
foreach($rows as $row){
if($x!=0 && $x%3==0){ // if not first iteration and iteration divided by 3 has no remainder...
echo "</div>\n<div class='row'>";
}
echo "<div>$row</div>";
++$x;
}
echo "</div>";
This will create:
<div class="row"><div>one</div><div>two</div><div>three</div></div>
<div class='row'><div>four</div><div>five</div><div>six</div></div>
Late Edit, here are a couple of other methods for similar situations which will provide the same result:
foreach(array_chunk($rows,3) as $a){
echo "<div class=\"row\"><div>",implode('</div><div>',$a),"</div></div>\n";
}
or
foreach ($rows as $i=>$v){
if($i%3==0){
if($i!=0){
echo "</div>\n";
}
echo "<div class=\"row\">";
}
echo "<div>$v</div>";
}
echo "</div>";
To clarify what NOT to do...
Sinan Ulker's answer will lead to an unwanted result depending on the size of your result array.
Here is a generalized example to expose the issue:
Using this input array to represent your pdo results:
$rows=["one","two","three","four","five","six"];
Sinan's condition at the end of each iteration:
$i=1;
echo "<div class=\"row\">";
foreach($rows as $row){
echo "<div>$row</div>";
if($i%3==0)echo "</div>\n<div class='row'>"; // 6%3==0 and that's not good here
// 6%3==0 and will echo the close/open line after the content to create an empty, unwanted dom element
$i++;
}
echo "</div>\n\n";
Will create this:
<div class="row"><div>one</div><div>two</div><div>three</div></div>
<div class='row'><div>four</div><div>five</div><div>six</div></div>
<div class='row'></div> //<--- this extra element is not good
$x = 0; echo "";
foreach($rows as $row) { /* added one more condition for removing empty div.... */
if ($x != 0 && $x % 3 == 0 && $x < count($rows))
{
echo "</div>\n<div class='row'>";
}
echo "<div>$row</div>";
++$x;
}
echo "";
You need to add a new closure tag and open new one every 3th iteration.
<div class="row">

$sql = "SELECT * FROM products";
$stmt = $conn->query($sql);
$stmt->execute();
