    copied!<p>I am trying to format some html output from my db using php and here's my problem:</p> <p>How it should be formated:</p> <pre><code>... &lt;li&gt; &lt;div class="row-wrapper"&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-1&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-2&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-3&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-2"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-4&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="row-wrapper"&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-5&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-6&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-7&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-2"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-8&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="row-wrapper"&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-9&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-10&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-11&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-2"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-12&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;div class="row-wrapper"&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-13&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-14&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-15&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-2"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-16&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="row-wrapper"&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-17&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-18&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-19&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-2"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-20&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="row-wrapper"&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-21&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-22&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-23&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-2"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-24&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/li&gt; ... etc. </code></pre> <p>Data is held inside an array gathered from mysql db, so far I got to this:</p> <pre><code>$num_thumbs = 4; //Number od elemets in a row $result = myQueryFunction("SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY Id ASC"); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); if (!empty($num_rows)) { while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $thumbs_array[] = "&lt;a href=\"" . $row[0] . "\"&gt;&lt;img src=\"" . $row[1] . "\""; } $thumb_p = "&lt;div&gt;\n"; mysql_free_result($result); $i = 1; foreach ($thumbs_array as &amp;$thumb_link) { if ($i == $num_thumbs) { $i = 1; $thumb_p .= "&lt;div class=\"some-class-2\"&gt;" . $thumb_link . "&lt;/div&gt;"; $thumb_p .= "&lt;/div&gt;\n&lt;div class=\"row-wrapper\"&gt;\n"; } else { $thumb_p .= "\t\n&lt;div class=\"some-class-1\"&gt;" . $thumb_link . "&lt;/div&gt;"; $i++; } } $thumb_p .= "\n&lt;/div&gt;\n"; } print($thumb_p); </code></pre> <p>this covers only this part of code formatting:</p> <pre><code> &lt;div class="row-wrapper"&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-13&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-14&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-15&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-2"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-16&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="row-wrapper"&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-17&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-18&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-19&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-2"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-20&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="row-wrapper"&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-21&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-22&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-1"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-23&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="some-class-2"&gt;ARRAY-ELEMENT-24&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've been thinking of using some variable $newList = null; that will be updated at each row, so I can check if it has changed the next one. any ideas? Thanks in advance :)</p>
