Split php array into different div iteratively-CodePudding

I'm trying to break a PHP array of 9 array items into 3 divs. My array is displayed as:

$array = array("item 1", "item 2", "item 3", "item 4", "item 5", "item 6", "item 7", "item 8", "item 9")

This might be a previously asked question but I couldn't find a working solution. I tried what I saw on a similar question here on Break PHP array into 3 columns but it didn't achieve it as I wanted.

The snippet of what I want to achieve is below...

.wrapper {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: colum;
  gap: 80px;
}

.wrapper div {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}

<div >
  <div>
    <p>Item 1</p>
    <p>Item 4</p>
    <p>Item 7</p>
  </div>
  <div>
    <p>Item 2</p>
    <p>Item 5</p>
    <p>Item 8</p>
  </div>
  <div>
    <p>Item 3</p>
    <p>Item 6</p>
    <p>Item 9</p>
  </div>
</div>

If I understood you correctly, maybe this solution will work for you:

<?php 
  $data = ['Item 1', 'Item 2', 'Item 3', 'Item 4', 'Item 5', 'Item 6', 'Item 7', 'Item 8', 'Item 9'];
  $columnLimit = 3;
  $columns = array_fill(0, $columnLimit, []);
   
  foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
    $columns[$key % $columnLimit][] = $value;
  };
?>


<div >
  <?php foreach ($columns as $column): ?>
  <div>    
    <?php foreach($column as $item): ?>
      <p><?=$item?></p>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
  </div>
  <?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
