[RESOLVED] show titles

[slimjim]

Does anyone know how to show titles like this...
I will be pulling the titles from a database and need them to show like this and will be links..

3 across and depending on how many titles I have will depend on depth

example :

Title 1 Title 2 Title 3
Title 4 Title 5 Title 6
Title 7 Title 8 Title 9
Title 10

Put them into a table. Create a counter that increments each time your loop goes around. If the counter is at zero, output a new table row. If it's at the max amount of cells (3, in your case), have it close the table row and reset the counter.

i typically don't just give the code to people... but this may be a bit difficult to explain or at least explain well enough for you to understand, so here is some code that has been posted on the board before, disect it and make sure you understand how it works, then implement it

<?php 

function vertHorizLoop($array, $cols=3, $horiz=true, $table=true) 
{ 
    $output = ''; 

$count = count($array); 
if($table) 
    $output .= ' 
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="500"> 
    <tr>'; 
    if(!$horiz) 
    { 
        $sect = array(); 
        for($i=0; $i<$cols; $i++) 
            $sect[$i] = array(); 

    $max = ceil($count/$cols); 
    $k=0; 

    for($i=0; $i<$count; $i++) 
    { 
        if($i%$max==0 && $i!=0) 
            $k++; 

        $sect[$k][] = $array[$i]; 
    } 
} 

if($horiz) 
{ 
    for($i=0; $i<count($array); $i++) 
    { 
        if($i%$cols==0) 
        { 
            if($table) 
                $output .= ' 
</tr> 
<tr>'; 
            else 
                $output .= '<br>'; 
        } 

        if($table) 
            $output .= ' 
    <td>'.$array[$i].'</td>'; 
        else 
            $output .= $array[$i].' '; 
    } 
} 

else 
{ 
    for($i=0; $i<$max; $i++) 
    { 
        foreach($sect as $key=>$arr) 
        { 
            if($table) 
                $output .= ' 
    <td>'.$arr[$i].'</td>'; 
            else 
                $output .= $arr[$i].' '; 
        } 
        if($table) 
            $output .= ' 
</tr> 
<tr>'; 
        else 
            $output .= '<br>'; 
    } 
} 

if($table) 
    $output .= ' 
</tr> 
</table>'; 
    echo $output; 

} 

$block = array('Alpha', 'Bravo', 'Charlie', 'Delta', 'Echo', 'Foxtrot', 'Golf', 'Hotel', 'India', 'Juliet', 'Kilo', 'Lima', 'Mike', 'November', 'Oscar', 'Papa', 'Quebec', 'Romeo', 'Sierra', 'Tango', 'Uniform', 'Victor', 'Whiskey', 'Xray', 'Yankee', 'Zulu');

echo '<h3>Horizontal [<i>Table</i>]:</h3>'; 
vertHorizLoop($block, 5, true);
echo '<hr> 
<h3>Vertical [<i>Table</i>]:</h3>'; 
vertHorizLoop($block, 5, false);
echo '<hr> 
<h3>Horizontal [<i>HTML</i>]:</h3>'; 
vertHorizLoop($block, 5, true, false);
echo '<hr> 
<h3>Vertical [<i>HTML</i>]:</h3>'; 
vertHorizLoop($block, 5, false, false);

?>

Ok wow, that is difficult for sure, I think I will practice and see what I come up with, cause even your code is hard to understand and I really do like learning from examples, cause I feel it is the best way to learn.
Thank you, I will practice more. I think I am getting close to figuring some of it out.
