Basically what I'd like to do is detect when the index of a loop reaches increments of 12 and then do something else. Right now, my code looks like this:


<?php
						//Grab thumbnails and display them
						$files = glob(\"images/gallery/thumb/*.{jpg,gif,png}\", GLOB_BRACE);
						for ($i = 00; $i<count($files); $i++) {
echo <<<THUMB
						<li><a id='house$i'>
							<img src='$files[$i]' alt=\"house\"/></a>
						</li>
						
THUMB;
							if ($i == 11 || $i == 23 ||  $i == 35 || $i == 47 || $i == 59 ||  $i == 71 || $i == 83) {
echo <<<PANEL
							</div>
							<div class=\"panel\">
PANEL;
							}
						}
					?>

As you can see, it's this part that needs improving:

if ($i == 11 || $i == 23 ||  $i == 35 || $i == 47 || $i == 59 ||  $i == 71 || $i == 83) {

This code works fine as is, but I'd like for it to not break if the number goes above what is hard coded in.

You want to use the modulus then. However I would start $i at 1 and then knock off 1 when accessing the array to make it easier...If that makes sense

So I think something like

if ($i % 12 == 0){

}

Wow. That was easy. I'll have to remember that.
