Loop through divs with for loop and sql COUNT

Question

CODE :

$result= mysql_query ("SELECT COUNT(post_id) AS postCounter FROM headlines WHERE user_id= '$_SESSION[user_id]' ");
$numrows = mysql_num_rows ($result);

if ($numrows!=0){
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result))
        $postCounter = $row['postCounter'];

    for ($i=1; $i<=$postCounter; $i++){
        echo "$i";
    }
}

Now, what I want to know is "How could I use for-loop to echo div's depending on the COUNT result?"

So if $postCounter above was "4" I need to display 4 divs for it .

Answer 1

In your for loop, echo a DIV instead of just echoing the number.

for ($i = 1; $i <= $postCounter; $i++) {
    echo "<div>$i</div>";
}

Answer 2

An other way you can do by FOREACH to embed html into php

<ul>
<?php foreach($postcounter as $post) { ?>
    <li><?php echo $post; ?></li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>

Hope this help
