Split Php Loop Into 2 Lists

I have built the following function, but is it possible to get it to split my lists from one into more so I can have a maximum of 8

's per

? function buildProdu

Solution 1:

You can add a counter, and when that counter reaches 8, you start a new ul.

$counter = 1;
while ($rowProd = dbFetchAssoc($resultProd)) {
    extract($rowProd);

    if($counter % 8 == 0) {
        $counter = 1;
        echo"</ul><ul>";
    }

    echo"<li><a href='".$base."products/".strtolower($row['cat_name'])."/".strtolower($pd_name)."'>".$pd_name."</a></li>";
    counter++;
} 

Solution 2:

Okay, instead of echoing the LIs right from the function I suggest you add them all to an array, once things are in an array, its always easier to manage.

Use array_chunk() on the final array of LIs and it will split it into groups of eight.
