for-loop display

techmeister

Hi there all:

I have a for-loop that displays images from my DB. I echo the result of the loop directly to the page thus:

for ($count = 0; $count < count($image); $count++) {
echo <a href=\"sport.php?id=$sportID\">$image</a>";
}
//end for-loop

I'd rather not do it this way for neatness of code so I do this instead:

for ($count = 0; $count < count($image); $count++) {
$display_this = $display_this . <a href=\"sport.php?id=$sportID\">$image</a>";
}
//end for-loop

This now displays all my images in a line horizontally across the page, exceeding the page width if there are more than 4 images.

I'm looking for a way to display these so that they drop down a line after 4 or so.

I can do it if I leave a space after $image in the loop, but then a hyphen of sorts '-' is displayed after each image.

Can anyone help me eliminate this hyphen AND have my images automatically drop down a line when they reach the pages right margin? (As text would normally do)

Many thanks:
Russ

Hi,

Try to put a space behind </a>

so your code would be:

$display_this = $display_this . <a href=\"sport.php?id=$sportID\">$image</a> ";

I'm not sure about this, haven't tested it. Try it out.

Ups, saw an error in the code don't forget do put double quotes before <a href

$display_this = $display_this . "<a href=\"sport.php?id=$sportID\">$image</a> ";

This is the simple way but if you want this to work a little bit better you could use a counter in your for loop and if the counter reachs 4 you add an "<br>" to your string and reset the counter.

I was thinking of that, but seeing as I'm not what you might call an expert on for loops, so I wasn't sure quite how to proceed...

Way I see it is, if it works it works! 'nuff said.

Thanks again.
