PHP- CHECK IF A NUMBER IS MULTIPLE OF ANOTHER NUMBER

This is one of those posts that is purely a reminder for myself. It’s something so simple, but for some reason or another, I tend to forget.

Suppose I have a loop, and I want to call a certain action on every 5th loop. For example, on the 5th, 10th, 15th..etc count, I want to call an action.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

<? for($i = 1; $i < 21; $i++) { if ($i % 5 == 0) { echo "Hello World"; } } ?>

In the example above, “Hello World” will echo on the 5th, 10th, 15th and 20th count.
