Hi Dave,

I am sure there is a simple php function to test for the last record in a list-viewer.

I just want to check if a record is the last in a list-viewer. If it is I don't want to print the extra &8226; character in the menu line...

<?php foreach ($sub_galleriesMenus as $record): ?>
<a href="#"><?php echo $record['gallery_name'] ?></a> •
<?php endforeach ?>

Thanks in advance !!

Hi Avrom,

Try this:

<?php foreach ($sub_galleriesMenus as $record): ?> 
<a href="#"><?php echo $record['gallery_name'] ?></a> &#8226; 
<?php $isLastRecord = $record['num'] == $sub_galleriesMenus[-1]['num'] ?>
<?php if (!$isLastRecord): ?> &#8226; <?php endif ?> 
<?php endforeach ?>

When you have an array (list) of records you can refer to them by number like this: $array[1], etc. Except it starts at zero. You can also refer to the last item in the list with -1. So this checks if the current record number being displayed has the same number as the last records number.

Let me know if that works for you.
