nested foreach loop, 1st loop not looping

Question

Im trying to get my array to loop in the foreach loop but it keeps looping the same one over and over. What am I doing wrong?

$classes = array('red', 'blue', 'yellow', 'green', 'black', 'purple', 'grey');
foreach($classes as $class){
foreach ($html->find('.yfnc_datamodoutline1 .yfnc_tabledata1') as $element){
    $symbols = $element->outertext;
    echo '<div class="'.$class.'">'.$symbols.'</div>';
}

it outputs this

<div class="red">Jul 6, 2012</div>
<div class="red">12,889.40</div>
<div class="red">12,889.40</div>
<div class="red">12,702.99</div>
<div class="red">12,772.47</div>
<div class="red">967,600</div>
<div class="red">12,772.47</div>

Im trying to make it output this

<div class="red">Jul 6, 2012</div>
<div class="blue">12,889.40</div>
<div class="yellow">12,889.40</div>
<div class="green">12,702.99</div>
<div class="black">12,772.47</div>
<div class="purple">967,600</div>
<div class="grey">12,772.47</div>

You can't use nested loops for this, instead use an index in the color array.

$classes = array('red', 'blue', 'yellow', 'green', 'black', 'purple', 'grey');
$ci = 0;
foreach ($html->find('.yfnc_datamodoutline1 .yfnc_tabledata1') as $element){
    $symbols = $element->outertext;
    echo '<div class="'.$classes[$ci].'">'.$symbols.'</div>';
    $ci++;
    if($ci == count($classes)) $ci = 0;
}
