How can the concept of a "group change" or "group break" be implemented in PHP to display headings and associated content in a structured manner, as discussed in the forum thread?
To implement a "group change" or "group break" in PHP to display headings and associated content in a structured manner, you can use a loop to iterate through your data and check for changes in a specific grouping variable. When a change is detected, you can output a new heading before displaying the associated content.
<?php
// Sample data array
$data = array(
array('group' => 'A', 'content' => 'Content 1'),
array('group' => 'A', 'content' => 'Content 2'),
array('group' => 'B', 'content' => 'Content 3'),
array('group' => 'B', 'content' => 'Content 4'),
);
$currentGroup = null;
foreach ($data as $item) {
if ($item['group'] !== $currentGroup) {
echo "<h2>{$item['group']}</h2>";
$currentGroup = $item['group'];
}
echo "<p>{$item['content']}</p>";
}
?>
