PHP create two unordered lists from array

Question

I'm trying to create two unordered lists from a PHP array, I found this thread which is pretty much what I'm looking for, but I would like the first list to have 11 items, the second list to have the rest. Here's my code:

<?php if ($rows) : 

    $items = count($rows);
    $split = ceil($items/2);
    $firsthalf = array_slice($rows,$split);
    $secondhalf = array_slice($rows,0,$split);
?>

    <div class="tickets">

      <div class="col1">
        <ul>
          <?php foreach ($firsthalf as $item) : ?>
          <li><a href="">test 1</a></li>
          <?php endforeach; ?>
        </ul>
      </div>

      <div class="col2">
        <ul>
          <?php foreach ($secondhalf as $item) : ?>
          <li><a href="">test 2</a></li>
          <?php endforeach; ?>
        </ul>
      </div>

      <div class="clear"></div>
    </div>

<?php endif; ?>

Just shuffle the array before you do your array_sliceing. — sberry

Here is how to split the array into 11 items and then the rest using array_slice():

$firsthalf = array_slice($rows, 0, 11);
$secondhalf = array_slice($rows, 11);

If you have a look at the array_slice documentation, you can see that you specify the size of the split as the third parameter, while the second is the offset:

<?php 
    if ($rows) : 
      $firsthalf = array_slice($rows, 0, 11); // returns 11 rows from the start
      $secondhalf = array_slice($rows, 11); // returns everything after the 11th row
?>

// $items = count($rows);
// $split = ceil($items/2);
$firsthalf = array_slice($rows, 0, 11);
$secondhalf = array_slice($rows, 11);
