Here's a fun little trick for cycling a set of items in the case where you want to say loop thorugh a set of styles for a tiled effect: <?php $styles = array('style1', 'style2', 'style3', ... 'stylen'); while (haveMoreToPrint()) { array_push($styles, array_shift($styles)); print('<div class="'.$styles[0].'">Some content</div>'); } ?> And since the elements that are being shifted off go onto the end, there is no concern as to how many or how few styles your have or how many times you are going to cycle through them. No counters, no nothin. --was-- Here's a fun little trick for cycling a set of items in the case where you want to say loop thorugh a set of styles for a tiled effect: $styles = array('style1', 'style2', 'style3', ...
