PHP - Foreach loop that limits 3 items each row

Question

I'm retrieving my items from Exact and displaying them usuing a PHP loop. However, i want to put a HTML tag (br) after every 3 items.

Is there a possibility to do this? My current code:

<?php
    $glas = getGLAccounts($search);
    $count = 0

    foreach($glas as $gla) {
        $count++;
        echo "<tr><td><a href='glaccountedit.php?glaccount=".$gla['ID']."'>".$gla['Code']." </a></td><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;".$gla['Description']."</td></tr>";

        if ($count == 3) {
            echo "</br>";
        }
    }
?>

However, this isn't working. What am I doing wrong?

You don't reset your counter. Inside if ($count == 3) { add $count = 0. But I think @nicovank solution is way better. — Karol Gasienica

Your code will put <br> only once. If you need to put after each three items you need to reset your variable:

if ($count == 3) {
    $count = 0;
    echo "</br>";
}

or change condition:

if ($count%3 === 0) {
    echo "</br>";
}

It doesn't work because your Count isn't reset. If count == 3, it will do a <br> but after this, count is again increased. So count will be 4, 5, 6, 7, etc and never again be true for count == 3

<?php
$glas = getGLAccounts($search);
$count = 0

foreach($glas as $gla) {
    $count++;
    echo "<tr><td><a href='glaccountedit.php?glaccount=".$gla['ID']."'>".$gla['Code']." </a></td><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;".$gla['Description']."</td></tr>";
    if ($count == 3) {
        $count = 0;
        echo "</br>";
    }
}
?>
