While loop question

[TwiztedFake]

I am working a listing of some information and I am stuck. How can I check if something is dividable by a number that equals a whole number.

Example.
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{ echo ' $link' }

After five loops I want it to echo $info. Then return to the while loop until it gets to 10 then echo $info again, etc. Basically would echo $info every 6th loop.

Is there an easy way to do this with out having to code in a bunch of if statements.

The MOD operator, %

$i = 15 % 3;

This returns 0, since the remainder is 0.

$i = 15 % 4

This should return 3 since 15 / 4 leaves 3 as a remainder. If it's 0, it's divisable, basically.

I hope this helps:

$i = 0;

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
 if (($i++ % 5) == 0)
  echo $info;
 else
  //listing stuff
  echo ' $link';
}

Thank you both, it works now. I knew there had to be an easier way than I was trying.

why don't you use a varibale for counter whih increments everytime and if it is divisible by 5 with 0 as remainder then echo your $info.

That's it.

Thanks.
