    text
    copied!<p>I have a <code>while/for</code> loop with a <code>foreach</code> loop inside. Reading the code will make it self explanatory as to what I am trying to achieve in terms of logic. </p> <p>In layman's terms, I am trying to create a calendar in PHP. The <code>foreach</code> statement creates 35 cells, for the calendar interface, 4 weeks, 7 days, 5 x 7 = 35. </p> <p>The <code>while</code> loop has taken the number of days in April (30) and trying to each the range 1-30 in each cell. </p> <p>However, when implementing the code below, each number gets iterated 30 times. </p> <pre><code>$i = 1; while ($i &lt;= 30){ foreach ($this-&gt;cells as $cells){ foreach ($cells as $key =&gt; $object){ echo "&lt;td&gt;" . $i . "&lt;/td&gt;"; if($object % 7 == 0){ echo "&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;"; } } } $i++; } </code></pre> <p>I tried this:</p> <pre><code>$i = 1; while ($i &lt;= 30){ foreach ($this-&gt;cells as $cells){ foreach ($cells as $key =&gt; $object){ echo "&lt;td&gt;" . $i . "&lt;/td&gt;"; $i++; if($object % 7 == 0){ echo "&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;"; } } } } </code></pre> <p>Which instead of outputting 1-30 many times each, it outputs 1-35, when I only want 1-30.</p> <p>I have tried a for loop with the result it prints many of each number. For loop code:</p> <pre><code>for ($i = 1; $i &lt;= 30; $i++){ foreach ($this-&gt;cells as $cells){ foreach ($cells as $key =&gt; $object){ echo "&lt;td&gt;" . $i . "&lt;/td&gt;"; if($object % 7 == 0){ echo "&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;"; } } } } </code></pre> <p><code>$this-&gt;cells</code> is a range 1-35 in an array </p>
