Re: adding a <br> tag in the middle of a loop

Dear Rodney (& Matt), That's the right idea, but not too flexible. It won't work if you want to change it to breaking every fourth iteration, say. It works because reducing integers modulo 3 goes 0,1,2,0,1,2,0,1,2,... The only one of these which is bigger than 1 is 2. But reducing modulo 4 goes 0,1,2,3,0,1,2,3,.... So you would get two line breaks, then two nonbreaks, then two linebreaks... What is IMHO better: reduce integers starting with 1 modulo 4 and you get 1,2,3,0,1,2,3,0,1,2,3,0,... Coded up: <?php $modulus = 3; for ($i = 0; $i < $number; $i++) { echo '<input type="text" name="variable[]" size="15">'; if (($i + 1) % $modulus == 0) // break every $modulus rows echo "<br>\n"; } ?> Later, Matt ---------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew Leingang http://www.math.rutgers.edu/ Rutgers University leingang@math.rutgers.edu Department of Mathematics "This signature needs no quote."
