RE: [PHP-DB] displaying result across 3 cells - where did I go wrong?
Hey John, Thanks for spotting that. So.. do I need to use 2 different incrementors? $z and say $x for each part? I basically pieced this code together from several examples I found so forgive forgive the fact I don't know a whole lot about the code even though I've tried to understand it as much as possible *shrugs* Aaron -Original Message- From: CPT John W.

You could try something like this:
while($z % 3 !== 0)
{
$z++;
...
}
That way $z is only incremented when there are left over cells to be filled.
You may have to play around with it for a bit.

[PHP-DB] displaying result across 3 cells - where did I go wrong?
Hi All,
I'm trying to display results across 3 cells - for example:
#5 Perle Cotton
223 | 225 | 301
304 | 326 | 333
#12 Perle Cotton
211 | 223 | 224
225 | 356 |
#4 Braid
95 | 100HL | 102
Right NOW it is displaying like:
#5 Perle Cotton
223 | 225
301 | 304| 326
#12 Perle Cotton
211 | 223
224 | 225| 356
#4 Braid
95 | 100HL
102
This is the code I am working with:
$z =0;
while ($thread = db_fetch($tresult))
{
// if z is divisible by 3
echo ($z %3 == 0) ? '' : '';
if ($thread_type != $thread['type'])
{
echo "{$thread[type]}\n";
while($z++ %3 !==0)
{
// if
not enough tds - add empty tds until end of tr
echo
' ';
}
// everytime we get here - we have just
filled a tr with tds,
// so start new tr and output type,
then start another new tr
echo ' type
';
$thread_type = $thread[type];
}
echo ' '.$thread[colourID].' ';
// end the tr on every third cycle
echo (++$z %3 == 0) ? '' : '';
}
The HTML looks like:
#5 Perle Cotton
223
225
301
304
326
333
#12 Perle Cotton
211
223
224
225
356
#4 Braid
95
100HL
102
can ANYONE see where I have gone wrong?
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks!
Aaron
