How to loop through given array using php and display in table?-CodePudding

I have a array which has 6 arrays.

mainArray = array(array1, array2, array3, array4, array5, array6);

Array 1 to Array 6 : Each has 56 items in it.

I want to display the items in table like below:

1	2	3	4	5	6
Array1 first item	Array2 first item	Array3 first item	Array4 first item	Array5 first item	Array6 first item
Array1 second item	Array2 second item	Array3 second item	Array4 second item	Array5 second item	Array6 second item
Array1 Third item	Array2 Third item	Array3 Third item	Array4 Third item	Array5 Third item	Array6 Third item
Array1 Fourth item	Array2 Fourth item	Array3 Fourth item	Array4 Fourth item	Array5 Fourth item	Array6 Fourth item
Array1 Fifth item	Array2 Fifth item	Array3 Fifth item	Array4 Fifth item	Array5 Fifth item	Array6 Fifth item
Array1 Sixth item	Array2 Sixth item	Array3 Sixth item	Array4 Sixth item	Array5 Sixth item	Array6 Sixth item
Array1 Seventh item	Array2 Seventh item	Array3 Seventh item	Array4 Seventh item	Array5 Seventh item	Array6 Seventh item
Array1 Eighth item	Array2 Eighth item	Array3 Eighth item	Array4 Eighth item	Array5 Eighth item	Array6 Eighth item

1	2	3	4	5	6
Array1 9th item	Array2 9th item	Array3 9th item	Array4 9th item	Array5 9th item	Array6 9th item
Array1 10th item	Array2 10th item	Array3 10th item	Array4 10th item	Array5 10th item	Array6 10th item
Array1 11th item	Array2 11th item	Array3 11th item	Array4 11th item	Array5 11th item	Array6 11th item
Array1 12th item	Array2 12th item	Array3 12th item	Array4 12th item	Array5 12th item	Array6 12th item
Array1 13th item	Array2 13th item	Array3 13th item	Array4 13th item	Array5 13th item	Array6 13th item
Array1 14th item	Array2 14th item	Array3 14th item	Array4 14th item	Array5 14th item	Array6 14th item
Array1 15th item	Array2 15th item	Array3 15th item	Array4 15th item	Array5 15th item	Array6 15th item
Array1 16th item	Array2 16th item	Array3 16th item	Array4 16th item	Array5 16th item	Array6 16th item

And it continues till 56 items.

I know to loop through we need foreach, but how to break array into 8 like above and then loop again.

Any suggestions or guide ?

There are many ways to solve this, but since it is a small table you can do it in a way that is easy to understand. First resort your array with columns into an array with rows. Then it is easy to display those rows as a table. Something like this:

$mainArray = [<here is all your data>];

// first resort
$tableRows = [];
foreach ($mainArray as $columnIndex => $columnArray) {
    foreach ($columnArray as $rowIndex => $item) {
        $tableRows[$rowIndex][$columnIndex] = $item;
    }
}

// then display
echo "<table>";
foreach ($tableRows as $tableRow) {
    echo "<tr>";
    foreach ($tableRow as $tableCell) {
        echo "<td>$tableCell</td>";
    }
    echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";

This will work even if the size of your array varies. Note that things might go wrong if not all the column arrays have the same amount of items in them.

You can use modulo operator with loop counter to print delimiter between each X rows, like this:

$split = 8;

for ($i = 0; $i < count($array[0]); $i  ) {
    // Print row here, loop for all arrays using $i as index 
    
    if (($i   1) % $split === 0) {
        // Print delimiter between tables here
    }
}
