[Resolved] Breaking an array down to 9

[Kudose]

Hello all. basically what I am trying to do is take my db column, which holds a strong of image names seperated by comma, and take array keys 1-9 and put them into a formatted table.

I have been tinkering with it and get some results, but no formatting, then no results and formatting, and bleh.

Could someone please help me?

I basically just need to:

Get my column. Break it into an array, shift off the first one, pop off everythinhg over key 9, then display 1-9.

Here's what I got so far:

$images = explode(",", $stock['img1']);
									$images = array_shift($images);
									if(count($images) > 0){
										echo '<table border="0" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="padding-top:7px;">';
										$img_cnt = count($images);
										$a = 0;

									while($images[$a] != ""){
										if($a % 3 == 0){ echo '<tr>'; }
											echo '<td><img src="imgs/thumb_'.$images[$a].'" style="border: 1px solid #000000;"></td>';
										if(($a % 3 == 2) || ($a == count($images)-1)){ echo '</tr>'; }
										$a++;
									}
									echo '</table>';
								} else {
									echo '&nbsp;';
								}

TIA!

Wouldn't it be more simple to query LIMIT 0,9 and then loop out your results from that? Is that not an option?

Or, you could try a loop that stops at nine...

i=0; i<9;

I am using the array for other reasons, so limiting the query output isn't an option.

I am just sectioning off images, there will be an unlimited amount, I just need a block of nine or less.

I got it. Thanks though.

$images = explode(",", $stock['img1']);

								if(($img_cnt = count($images)) > 1){
									echo '<table border="0" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="padding-top:7px;">';
									$counter = 1;
									for($a=0;$a<$img_cnt;$a++){
										if(($a == 10) || ($images[$counter] == "")){ break; }
										if($a % 3 == 0){ echo '<tr>'; }
											echo '<td><img src="imgs/thumb_'.$images[$counter].'" style="border: 1px solid #000000;"></td>';
										if(($a % 3 == 2) || ($a == count($images)-2)){ echo '</tr>'; }
										$counter++;
									}
									echo '</table>';
								} else {
									echo '&nbsp;';
								}
