I am trying to figure a way to display a list of donors in two columns The donors come from a multi-record editor. When I am about half through the foreach loop, I need to insert "</td><td>"

Is there a way to do this?

Hi,

So you want to pretty much split the list of donors in half, half in each column. Is that right?

If you post the code you have already, I'll take a look at it for you.

Thanks.

Yes, that is correct. Here is the code..

  list($individualsRecords, $individualsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
    'tableName'   => 'individuals',
    'loadUploads' => '0',
    'allowSearch' => '0',
  ));

<table class="donors">
<tr>
   <td>
      <?php foreach ($individualsRecords as $record): ?>
         <?php echo $record['name'] ?><br />
      <?php endforeach ?>
   </td>
</tr>
</table>

Hi,

You could try something like this:

<?php
  $half=intval($individualsMetaData['totalRecords']/2);
  $count=0;
?>
<table class="donors"> 
<tr> 
   <td> 
      <?php foreach ($individualsRecords as $record): ?> 
           <?php if($count==$half): ?>
                 </td><td>
          <?php endif ?>
         <?php echo $record['name'] ?><br /> 
         <?php $count++; ?>
      <?php endforeach ?> 
   </td> 
</tr> 
</table>

This should set a new column approximately halfway through your list of records.

Give that a try and let me know if you run into any issues.
