where/how to put closing div on loop

[turpentyne]

I've got a loop working that puts my query results into groupings within div tags, but I'm not sure how to get a closing div in on each category... I guess what I would need is the same thing as the snippet that creates the category header, but for a 'footer'

seems simple enough, but I'm not sure :

PHP Code:

<?php

// create loop, then...

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
    if($category != $row['component_category'])
    {
        $category = $row['component_category'];
        echo "
        
         <div id=\"calibers\">
<a class=\"select-toggler\" href=\"javascript:showHide('caliber-expander');\"> <img src=\"images/structural/red-plus.gif\" style=\"position:relative;top:-2px;\"/> {$row['comp_cat_name']}</a><br>\n";
    }
    echo "<div style='float:left;padding-right:25px;' width='90'>{$row['component_name']} <br><img src='{$row['image_filepath']}'><br></div>\n";

}


?>

you need to echo the closing div but not the first time...

PHP Code:

<?php
// create loop, then...
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
    if($category != $row['component_category'])
    {
        $category = $row['component_category'];
        if(!$firstime){
               echo '</div>';
         }else{
            $firstime=true;
         }
        echo "
        
         <div id=\"calibers\">
<a class=\"select-toggler\" href=\"javascript:showHide('caliber-expander');\"> <img src=\"images/structural/red-plus.gif\" style=\"position:relative;top:-2px;\"/> {$row['comp_cat_name']}</a><br>\n";
    }
    echo "<div style='float:left;padding-right:25px;' width='90'>{$row['component_name']} <br><img src='{$row['image_filepath']}'><br></div>\n";

}


?>
