for() loop THIS! (please)

[captainscall]

Hello...

I'm trying to figure out how to compact this here code into a nice for loop, but it is difficult:

I'm considering something like (notice I simply want to just make a bunch of <tr>'s):

<?php
for ($x = 1; $x <= 8; $x++)
{
print '
<tr>
	<td>$x</td>
	<td><input type="text" maxlength="20" name="partno$x" value="<?php echo $partno$x ?>" /></td>
	<td><input type="text" maxlength="100" name="part$xdesc" value="<?php echo $part$xdesc ?>" /></td>
	<td><input type="text" maxlength="6" name="part$xqty" value="<?php echo $part$xqty ?>" /></td>
	<td><input type="text" maxlength="8" name="part$xamount" value="<?php echo $part$xamount ?>"  /></td>
	<td></td>
</tr>
';
}
?>

for what I already have. Which is a huge chunk of code just repeating the same elements but with '$x' changed (numbers 1-8)...

Thanks

what you have is good
lf you wanted to do it another way I feel that you'd be making you code convoluted.

here is what I came up with

$vpArr = array(
            array(20,'partno$x'),
            array(100,'part$xdesc'),
            array(6,'part$xqty'),
            array(8,'part$xamount'),
);


function spitHTML($x,$vpArr){
    
    $str = '<tr>';
    
    foreach($vpArr as $k => $v){
        $format = '<td><input type="text" maxlength="%s" name="%s" value="%s" /></td>';
        $str .= sprintf($format, $v[0],$v[1],$v[1]);
    }
    
    $str = str_replace('$x', $x, $str);
    
    return $str.'</tr>';
    }

echo '<table>';

for ($x = 1; $x <= 8; $x++)
{
echo spitHTML($x,$vpArr);    

}
echo '</table>';
