Displaying array in 2 columns divided by 50% of the results...?

[stweaker]

Hi I'm trying to rearrange my code so I can display my array in 2 columns with each column being <td> cell from each results being a row like I got now.

I want it to calculate the array split in half and put first 50% on left <td> and the other half on the right <td>. Everything I've tried is making rows... Any suggestions?

Code I have now:

define ("NUMCOLS",2);

$count = 0;
$counter= 1;
echo "<table border='0' width='100%'>";
foreach ($result[$Array] as $row) {

if ($count % NUMCOLS == 0) echo "<tr>\n";  # new row
echo '<td width="50%"><a href="$row['ID'].'">'.$row['Name'].'</a></td>';
$count++;
$counter++;

if ($count % NUMCOLS == 0) echo "</tr>\n";  # end row
}

# end row if not already ended

if ($count % NUMCOLS != 0) {
   foreach ($result[$FA][$SA] as $row) echo "<td>&nbsp;</td>";
   echo "</tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>";

It displays now as:

<tr>
<td>1</td><td>2</td>
<td>3</td><td>4</td>
</tr>

when I need it to be:

<tr>
<td>1<br>2</td><td>3<br>4</td>
</tr>

I just can't get my code to work. thanks.

You need to loop through the results until you reach the halfway point and then insert your </td> tag like this:

$halfway = floor(count($result[$Array])/2);
$count = 1;
echo "<table border='0' width='100%'><tr><td>";
foreach ($result[$Array] as $row) {

echo '<a href="$row['ID'].'">'.$row['Name'].'</a>';
if ($count==$halfway) {
   echo '</td><td>';
}
$count++;
}
echo "</td></tr>\n";
echo "</table>";

You could use array_chunk():

<table>
<tr>
<?php
foreach(array_chunk($result, ceil(count($result) / 2), true) as $chunk)
{
   echo "<td>\n";
   foreach($chunk as $row)
   {
      echo "<a href='{$row['ID']}'>{$row['Name']}</a><br>\n";
   }
   echo "</td>\n";
}
?>
</tr>
</table>
