[RESOLVED] Populating a table

tigomark

Hello,

I am trying to get the remainder of a field from the modulus of 5 to populate additional table headers.

if((count($val->type) - count($val->type != "N/A")) % 5){
    $reporthtml .= sprintf("<td align=\"center\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">&nbsp;</td>");
	}

In the implimentation
there are 8 fields
6 are N/A and 2 are good so I have 2 populated headers but I need to populate the other 3 with the empty space. However I could have 5 values so I am just trying to get the current amount and then fill the remaining with empty space.

Any help would be great.

Here's the usage I'm familiar with:

//blah blah, do a query, get a result, etc.
$tablecolumns=5;
$currentcol=1;
echo "<table>";
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
 if($currentcol==1){
   echo "<tr>";
  }
  if($currentcol==$tablecolumns){
     echo "</tr>";
    $currentcol=1;
   }
   echo "<td>$row[0]</td>";
  $currentcol++;
}
//no more data -- fill in the remaining rows in the columns with blanks
while($currentcol<$tablecolumns){
 echo "<td>&nbsp;</td>";
  $currentcol++;
}
echo "</tr></table>";

that should do it.

Thank you for your response
I think it might help if I posted the whole block

  if (is_array($this->dataTypes->data)) {
    reset($this->dataTypes->data);
    while (list($key, $val) = each ($this->dataTypes->data)) {
    if ($val->type != "N/A" && $val->type < 5) {
    $reporthtml .= sprintf("<td align=\"center\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">%s</td>", $val->name);
    }else if((count($val->type) - count($val->type != "N/A")) % 5){
    $reporthtml .= sprintf("<td align=\"center\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">&nbsp;</td>");
	}
