Adding Clear in Every Nth Loop

[chadcwm]

I'm setting up an advertising portfolio and have the data pulled and displayed so that every fourth loop, there is an alternate class and a clearing div…it works great, except that the very first result has a clear after it. I'm using modulus and I'm assuming it's something with the $i=0 (if I use $i=1, it works perfectly, but skips the first result).

Can anyone suggest how to get around this?

I'm a designer, not a coder, so please bare with my lack of php knowledge!

Here's what I've got now:

$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {

$id=mysql_result($result,$i,"id");
$client=mysql_result($result,$i,"Client");
$type=mysql_result($result,$i,"Type");
$image=mysql_result($result,$i,"Image");
$link=mysql_result($result,$i,"Link");

if($i % 4 == 0)
{
    // This loop should have class="projectBoxlast"
    $class = 'projectBoxlast';
}
else
{
    // Others have projectBox
    $class = 'projectBox';
}

if($i % 4 == 0 )
{
    // This loop has a clear
	$clear = '<div class="clear"></div>';
}
else
{
    // Others have don't clear
	$clear = '';
}
?>

<a href="<? echo "$link"; ?>">
<div class="<? echo "$class"; ?>">
<img class="thumbImage" src="http://www.cross-a.com/portfolio/thumbs/<? echo "$image"; ?>.jpg" />
<p class="thumbText"><strong><? echo "$client"; ?></strong><br />
<? echo "$type"; ?></p>

<div class="clear"></div>

</div> <!-- End of projectBox -->
</a>

<? echo "$clear"; ?>


<?
++$i;
} 
?>

Quick fix:

if($i % 4 == 0 && $i != 0)
{
    // This loop should have class="projectBoxlast"
    $class = 'projectBoxlast';
} 

That way you are not changing the class and clearing on the first iteration.
