How to display two table columns per row in php loop

Question

I would like to display data, two columns per row during my foreach. I would like my result to look like the following:

 <table>
 <tr><td>VALUE1</td><td>VALUE2</td></tr>
 <tr><td>VALUE3</td><td>VALUE4</td></tr>
 <tr><td>VALUE5</td><td>VALUE6</td></tr>
 </table>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You can use array_chunk() to split an array of data into smaller arrays, in this case of length 2, for each row.

<table>
<?php foreach (array_chunk($values, 2) as $row) { ?>
    <tr>
    <?php foreach ($row as $value) { ?>
        <td><?php echo htmlentities($value); ?></td>
    <?php } ?>
    </tr>
<?php } ?>
</table>

Note that if you have an odd number of values, this will leave a final row with only one cell. If you want to add an empty cell if necessary, you could check the length of $row within the outer foreach.

Answer 2

$i=0;
foreach ($x as $key=>$value)
  {
  if (fmod($i,2)) echo '<tr>';
  echo '<td>',$value,'</td>';
  if (fmod($i,2)) echo '</tr>';
  $i++;
  }

this will output TR (row) each second time

ps: i haven't tested the code, so maybe you will need to add ! sign before fmod, if it doesn't output TR on first iteration, but on second iteration in the beginning...
