Try this:

<?php
$i=0;    
foreach($videoEntries as $data){
$i++;
?>
    <div class="item-main">
        <div class="item">
        <a href="javascript:;" onclick="ratePopup(2)" title="<?php echo $data->video_name;?>">
        <div class="overlaid"></div>
        <img src="<?php echo $image_url;?>"  width="93" height="89"/>
        </a>
        </div>
        <p title="Trailer Name"><strong><?php echo $data->video_name;?></strong></p>
        <p title="Released Date"><?php echo $data->video_released_date;?></p>
    </div>
<?php 
    if($i == 5){
        echo "<br clear = 'all'>";  
        $i=0;
    }
}
?>

Every programer sould learn to do $i % 5, it is just too damn simple and usefull. Doing what is proposed here create a unnecesary need to mantain $i inside the 0 5 range. Thats asking for trouble.

@tei - so is ++$i==5, its not rocket science...the person maintaining the codebase should take care of that.

Too. Many. Moving. Parts. Anyway I don't want to stress my point. I am just adding my opinion here.

You can change:

if($i == 5){
    echo "<br clear = 'all'>";    
}

to

if(!($i % 5)){
    echo "<br clear = 'all'>";    
}

try this: Assuming your array index is not set to something strange.

foreach ($videoEntries as $index=>$data) {
  if ($index % 5 == 0) {
    echo "<BR>";
  }
}

Just to complete the examples...

Whenever you need the index of the loop, you can use the for loop instead (assuming it's an array). The foreach loop was invented for convenience, when you don't need the index.

for ($index = 0; $index < count(videoEntries); $index++)
{
  $data = $videoEntries[$index];
  ...
  if(($index % 5) == 0)
  {
    echo "<br clear = 'all'>";    
  }
}
