Reverse order of foreach list items

Question

I would like to reverse the order of this code's list items. Basically it's a set of years going from oldest to recent and I am trying to reverse that output.

<?php     $j=1;          foreach ( $skills_nav as $skill ) {         $a = '<li><a href="#" data-filter=".'.$skill->slug.'">';         $a .= $skill->name;                          $a .= '</a></li>';         echo $a;         echo "\n";         $j++;     } ?>

Walking Backwards

If you're looking for a purely PHP solution, you can also simply count backwards through the list, access it front-to-back:

$accounts = Array(   '@jonathansampson',   '@f12devtools',   '@ieanswers' );  $index = count($accounts);  while($index) {   echo sprintf("<li>%s</li>", $accounts[--$index]); } 

The above sets $index to the total number of elements, and then begins accessing them back-to-front, reducing the index value for the next iteration.

Reversing the Array

You could also leverage the array_reverse function to invert the values of your array, allowing you to access them in reverse order:

$accounts = Array(   '@jonathansampson',   '@f12devtools',   '@ieanswers' );  foreach ( array_reverse($accounts) as $account ) {   echo sprintf("<li>%s</li>", $account); }
