help with if else statements

Hi there.

Thanks for posting.

I think the issue here will be that you are using $record''num'] because it will likely never actually be "1" or "2".  We can go over the "why" of that in more detail if you like.

For now though, I suggest using a counter variable like this instead:

<?php if (@++$counter == '1'): ?>
  <div class="switch flex-active">
<?php elseif (@++$counter == '2'): ?>
  <div class="switch pull-left">
<?php else: ?>
  <div class="switch">
<?php endif ?>

Does that make sense? Give it a shot and let me know how you make out.

Thanks!

Hi,

I updated the code. The counter needs to first be set and then incremented outside of the if statement.

<div class="flex-manual">
<?php $counter = 1; ?>
<?php foreach ($testimonialsRecords as $record): ?>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-4 wrap">
<?php if ($counter == '1'): ?>
  <div class="switch flex-active">
<?php elseif ($counter == '2'): ?>
  <div class="switch pull-left">
<?php else: ?>
  <div class="switch">
<?php endif ?>
<img alt="client" src="assets/img/people/profile-1.jpg" class="sm-pic img-circle pull-left" width="69" height="70">
<p><span class="highlight"><?php echo htmlencode($record['name']) ?></span><br/><?php echo htmlencode($record['job_title']) ?></p>
</div>
<?php $counter++; ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
</div> 
</div>

Can you give this a try?

That works perfectly, thank you! :)

I have tried to use the above code in a similar situation however I can't get my head around it. I've got a grid of icons that are editable through the CMS so there could be any amount. The problem is they need a div around each set of 4.

I've got the following so far:

<?php foreach ($one_one_iconsRecords as $record): ?>
<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
<article class="align-center">
<i class="howitworks icon icon-<?php echo htmlencode($record['icon']) ?> highlight"></i>
<span class="heading"><?php echo htmlencode($record['title']) ?></span>
<p class="thin" ><?php echo htmlencode($record['content']) ?></p>
</article>
<!--<span class="icon icon-arrows-04"></span>-->
</div>
<?php endforeach ?> 

I need this to appear around every set of 1-4, so if there are 6 icons, I need it to appear around the first 4, and then the last 2

<div class="section-content row animated" data-duration="700" data-delay="200" data-animation="fadeInDown">
</div>

The full code I'm trying to generate:

<div class="section-content row animated" data-duration="700" data-delay="200" data-animation="fadeInDown">
<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">

Hi there.

I have a code example for you to try. You may need to adjust it a bit but it should get you on the right track

<div class="section-content row animated" data-duration="700" data-delay="200" data-animation="fadeInDown">
   <?php foreach ($one_one_iconsRecords as $record): ?>
        <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
        <article class="align-center">
        <i class="howitworks icon icon-<?php echo htmlencode($record['icon']) ?> highlight"></i>
        <span class="heading"><?php echo htmlencode($record['title']) ?></span>
        <p class="thin" ><?php echo htmlencode($record['content']) ?></p>
        </article>
        <!--<span class="icon icon-arrows-04"></span>-->
        </div>

        <?php if (@++$iconCounter % 4 == 0): ?></div><div class="section-content row animated" data-duration="700" data-delay="200" data-animation="fadeInDown"><?php endif ?>

    <?php endforeach ?>
</div>

Things to note in this code:

1. I moved the initial <div> tag outside the foreach loop.

2. I used a different counter name $iconCounter so it doesn't interfere with the other counter we used in the previous code. This is a good thing to remember if you need multiple counters on one page.

Let me know how you make out with this.
