I am trying to fetch some info from database under ZF1 environment. I am using a for loop here. What I am trying to accomplish is that inserting a new css division (div) for each four iteration. In other words, I would like to insert a block followed by four loop iterations. For example, if I run a loop twelve times, there should be three new blocks after each four iterations. It is basically an advertisement block that may contain image and link. I need an idea.
Here is an example block.
<div class="flexblock-image">
<a href="https://offers.example.com/offer/600112?cid=BWO_mh.com_html_getbackinshape&keycode=254194">
<img alt="" title="" typeof="foaf:Image" src="http://www.example.com.gif">
</a>
</div>
Here is the loop I have coded in my app.
<?php if ($this->numArticles > 0) : ?>
<?php for ($i = 0; $i < 13; $i++) : ?>
<div class="channel-image ">
<div class="img">
<h2 class="primary-tag">
<a href="/tags/weight-loss-tips" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">
<?php echo $this->articles[$i]->slug ; ?>
</a>
</h2>
<a href="
<?php echo $this->articles[$i]->getViewUrl(); ?>">
<img typeof="foaf:Image" src="
<?php echo $this->articles[$i]->getCover('crop'); ?>" width="650" height="412" alt="
<?php echo addslashes($article->title); ?>" title="
<?php echo addslashes($article->title); ?>">
</a>
</div>
<div class="channel-content">
<p class="date">
<span property="dc:date dc:created" content="2015-06-04T11:06:18-04:00" datatype="xsd:dateTime">
<?php echo $this->dateFormatter()->diff(strtotime($this->articles[0]->activated_date), $this->timeDiffFormats); ?>
</span>
</p>
<h2 class="article-title" id="title-node-93726">
<a href="
<?php echo $this->articles[$i]->getViewUrl(); ?>">
<?php echo addslashes($this->articles[$i]->title); ?>
</a>
</h2>
<div class="byline-container">
<span class="byline-role">By </span>
<span class="field-author">
<a href="#" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">
<?php echo sprintf($this->translator()->_('show.by'), $this->articles[0]->getAuthor()); ?>
</a>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php endfor; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Not an expert on PHP, but wouldn't an if
statement inside of your for
loop work by using the modulus operator?
<?php for ($i = 0; $i < 13; $i++) : ?>
<?php if ($i % 4 === 0) : ?>
// Custom HTML/CSS here
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endfor; ?>
