Creating 3 arrays from one

[mattih5]

Hi,

I have an array that can have any number of values. I need to be able to split the array 3 ways and any remainder will get put onto the final array. Reason for this is I want to display the data in 3 columns and cannot have any more than this.

Originally I though this would work:

$count = count($_SESSION['raw_keyword_list'])/3;
$ar = array_chunk($_SESSION['raw_keyword_list'],$count); 

But it sometimes leaves me with a remainder which consequently the function puts into a fourth array.

Any ideas?

Don't split it into 3 arrays (leave all in one) and instead focus on how you display it. Here is some pseudo code:

loop through array
    if array_index MOD 3 is 0 then display then create a new row
    display the current array item
end loop
loop 1 to (array_size - array_index)
    display blank cell
end loop

Hope this helps.
