cell and row ids

[SBuzzT]

I am trying to write a loop that will write 10 rows with 6 cells in each row. I want to assign an id for each cell in increments of 1. I have been able to do so for 1 row, but am unsure how to proceed with the subsequent rows. Basically, I need the first row of 6 cells to be assigned ids 1 through 6 (sequentially). The next row would be assigned 7 though 12, etc. Here's what I had so far to write the cells in the first row.

<?
	for ($i=1; $i<7; $i++)
	{
		echo "<td id=\"td".$i."\">";
		echo "text</td>";
	}
?>

Use a different counter, for the row numbers. So that it keeps adding to itself every time.

The piece of code you posted will only output one row with 7 cells. Add another for loop around it for however many rws you want:

$cellnumber=0;
$rows=5;
for($j=0;$j<=$rows;$j++){
  for ($i=1; $i<7; $i++)
    {
        echo "<td id=\"td".$cellnumber."\">";
        echo "text</td>";
$cellnumber++;    
}

}

This will output 5 rows with 7 cells each, each with a different ID.

Opps forgot to add the <tr> and </tr> at the beggining and end of the outer loop.

Sorry.

Here my code. It gave me 2 rows; the first had 6 cells. The second row output 24 cells. I think I missed something and I seem to be having a "dumb" day. The ids seem fine though...

<tr>
<?
$cellnumber=0;
$rows=3;
for($j=0;$j<=$rows;$j++)
{
  for ($i=1; $i<7; $i++)
    {
        echo "<td id=\"td".$cellnumber."\">";
        echo "text</td>";
				$cellnumber++;    
		}
}
?>
</tr>

Never mind... I think I have it.

$cellnumber=0;
$rows=3;
for($j=0;$j<=$rows;$j++)
{
  echo "<tr>";
  for ($i=1; $i<7; $i++)
    {
        echo "<td id=\"td".$cellnumber."\">";
        echo "text</td>";
				$cellnumber++;    
		}
	echo "</tr>";
}

Thanks a bunch!

put the <tr></tr> inside the for loop.

$cellnumber=0;
$rows=3;
for($j=0....){
   [red]echo "<tr>";[/red]
   for($i=...){
....
}
[red]echo "</tr>";[/red]
}
