PHP Question
 

Soul...you out there...this is an easy one I think...I just hate loops...

I would like to print a line...after every 5 lines...

Example:
how's life...
how's life...
how's life...
how's life...
how's life...
JUST FINE THANKS...
how's life...
etc...

thanks in advance

Keep a counter of how many lines you've printed and every time you print a line check the mod result of the counter.

if ($counter%5=0) {
echo "This is the line to print every 5th line."
}

Basically if the reminder of the counter divided by 5 is 0 you want to print that line. I typed it wrong before and this probably wrong, too, but that's the general concept anyways.

for ($i=1; $i<20; $i++)
{ echo "some text $i \n ";
if (!($i % 5)) { echo "line 5"; }
}

NOTE u have to start with an 1 not 0 ...
