I've got a loop. It echoes each item in an array. However, I want to wrap one of the items with some custom content. At the moment, I can do that, but it repeats it unnecessarily. Here is my loop:
$arr = array(1,2,3,4,5,6);
foreach ($arr as $key) {
if ($key == 5) {
echo 'wrap';
echo $key;
echo 'wrap';
}
echo $key;
}
Which produces:
1
2
3
4
WRAP
5
WRAP
5 <--- remove
6
As you can see, the $key
5 is being duplicated. I just need to wrap it once when it's called. Is there a way to only echo 5
once?
As it's currently written, the echo
statement after your if
block will get executed on each loop iteration. You only want that to happen when the value of $key
is not 5
. So use the else
block:
foreach ($arr as $key) {
if ($key == 5) {
echo 'wrap';
echo $key;
echo 'wrap';
} else {
echo $key;
}
}
What about this:
$arr = array(1,2,3,4,5,6);
foreach ($arr as $key) {
if ($key == 5) {
echo 'wrap';
echo $key;
echo 'wrap';
} else {
echo $key;
}
}
Yep, simple, just add an 'else' statement:
$arr = array(1,2,3,4,5,6);
foreach ($arr as $key) {
if ($key == 5) {
echo 'wrap';
echo $key;
echo 'wrap';
} else {
echo $key;
}
}
