[RESOLVED] for loop to echo 4 images per row into a table

[j0hn_]

I have a piece of code that parses my xml file (which contains the filenames of a bunch of thumbnails) into a multidimension array (because there is other data like captions).

I want to write a table on the fly that contains each thumbnail in a cell.

My problem is that I want 4 images per table row and I can't seem to figure out how to go about this.

The for loop I have at the moment echoes everything into 1 row. The code below is incomplete but if someone could please take a look at it and tell me what you think I would be forever grateful.

<?php
echo "<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=572>" ;
echo "<tbody>";
echo "<tr>";

for( $i=0 ; $i < $person_counter ; ++$i )
{
$thisName = $person_data[$i]["imagetype"];
if ($thisName == $article) {

	echo "<td>";
	echo "<b>we have match at position number: ". $i . "</b><br>--";

	echo $person_data[$i]["imagetype"];

	echo "--";
	echo " <img src=\"";
	echo "./images/thumbs/" . $person_data[$i]["filename"];
	echo "\">";
	echo "------";
	echo $person_data[$i]["headline"];
	echo "<br>";
	echo "</td>";
	}
	$thisPos = $i;
	}

echo "</tr>";

echo "</table>";
//<a href="image.php?articvle=$nextOne&mytype=$mytype">next</a>
?>

use a basic loop for the max number of files you have but, instead of using the origonal value eg 1 - 34 lets say do 1 - (34 /4)

then in the loop do

image[$xxx], image[$xxx +1], image[$xxx+2], image[$xxx+3]

this will then do 4 images per row from start to end..

sorry for rush just leaving work

Try this:

<?php
echo "<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=572>" ;
echo "<tbody>";

$column=1;
for( $i=0 ; $i < $person_counter ; ++$i )
{
$thisName = $person_data[$i]["imagetype"];
if ($thisName == $article) {
if ($column==1) { echo "<tr>"; }
echo "<td>";
echo "<b>we have match at position number: ". $i . "</b><br>--";

echo $person_data[$i]["imagetype"];

echo "--";
echo " <img src=\"";
echo "./images/thumbs/" . $person_data[$i]["filename"];
echo "\">";
echo "------";
echo $person_data[$i]["headline"];
echo "<br>";
echo "</td>";
if ($column==4) { echo "</tr>"; }
$column++;
if ($column==5) { $column=1; }
}
$thisPos = $i;
}

echo "</table>";
//<a href="image.php?articvle=$nextOne&mytype=$mytype">next</a>
?>
