Re: RE: [PHP] cell iterations in loop

ok, again, trying to understand "blank space"...but, try this:
if you print out  you'll get something i think you're referring to as blank 
space...
try using a nonbreaking space in there...either   or a space in the code; this 
will force 
the "emptiness" to show up...

RE: RE: [PHP] cell iterations in loop

2001-04-26 Thread Jerry Lake

Right, I understand that
if I use  it is blank space
if I use   it is an empty cell

right now $length is set at 42 (this is arbitrary)
and there needs to be two empty cells at the end of
the last row. if length is 41 I will need 3 and 40
will need 4. but if I don't know what the value of
$length is going to be on a dynamic page such as
showing "x" amount of images from a folder. I need
for the loop to know how many " " to
echo out at the end depending on the $length;

I apologize if I am not explaining this very well.
I usually am quite concise.

Re: RE: RE: [PHP] cell iterations in loop

2001-04-26 Thread dempsejn

ah, i got it...
ok, try this:
$length is arbitrary...
$x is your counter...
do the loop as before, but each time through the loop, $loopcount++;
So, if you do the loop 5 times, $loopcount == 5.
Then, at the end, $length - ($loopcount*$x) gives you the amount of  's to
echo. Put another for loop with these parameters after you've printed your normal 
td's...you could do this all in one for loop, and would just need some more if 
statements...
i think this is what you need...let me know how it goes...

Ok, after a few hours of messing here and there
I've got it to work. you can adjust for any number
of columns, and the pictures and it makes solid
tables.

Thanks, for all of the help



\n";
for ($x=1; $x<=$pictures; $x++)
{
echo "".$x."\n";
if ($x % $columns == 0)
{
$loopcount++;
if ($loopcount < $x )
{
echo "\n";
}
else
{
echo "\n";
}
}
}
$test = (($loopcount + 1) * $columns);
$td = (($loopcount + 1) * $columns) - ($x -1);
if($td != $columns)
{
for ($x=0; $x<$td; $x++)
{
echo "EMPTY\n";
}
}
#also added in
if($x % $columns != 0)
{
#then we know that it did not end completely, so echo you're final 
echo "\n";
}
?>
