Adding "last" class to div

try to increment the counter before the line `<?php endforeach; ?>
`

example:
<?php $count1++; ?>

brilliant! worked perfectly…

a bit of something is off here.. apparently it doesn’t know (second grouping of two column services @ https://twingravity.thruhere.net:8888/ashevillenerd_com/) that I need to reset the counter after each section is done.

never mind i figured it out. gotta assign each count its own variable:

foreach( $myposts as $post ) :	setup_postdata($post); ?>
<?php static $count2 = 0; ?>
<div class="pdtx <?php if($count2%2) { echo 'last'; } ?>">

I thought I was out of the woods but not quite. I am pulling my hair out over this seemingly simple piece of code. This is what I have for a three column setup:

<div class="c3 closing">
<?php if ( is_page() ) {  ?>
<?php // how this works section on footer of page describing service perk
$args = array( 'post_parent' => 114, 'post_type'=> page, 'orderby'=> menu_order, 'numberposts'=> 10, 'order'=> ASC );
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) :	setup_postdata($post); ?>
<?php static $count4 = 0; ?>
<div <?php if($count4%3) { echo 'class="last"'; } ?>>
<h2><strong><?php the_title(); ?></strong></h2>
<p><?php $excerpt = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'excerpt', true); ?>
<?php echo $excerpt; ?></p>
</div>
<?php $count4++; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php } ?>
</div><!-- c3 //-->

This generates this HTML:

<div class="c3 closing">
<div >
<h2><strong>Free Pick Up / Drop Off</strong></h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed aliquet dui pulvinar nisl hendrerit eu accumsan massa porta. Mauris luctus mattis nisi. Cras volutpat viverra ultricies.</p>
</div>
<div class="last">
<h2><strong>72 Hour Turnaround</strong></h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed aliquet dui pulvinar nisl hendrerit eu accumsan massa porta. Mauris luctus mattis nisi. Cras volutpat viverra ultricies.</p>
</div>
<div class="last">
<h2><strong>Print These Forms</strong></h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed aliquet dui pulvinar nisl hendrerit eu accumsan massa porta. Mauris luctus mattis nisi. Cras volutpat viverra ultricies.</p>
</div>
</div><!-- c3 //-->

What am I missing here. I want a way to tell it that every 3rd div, it should add the last class.

Thanks in advance for the help so far.

maybe try and change this:

<?php static $count4 = 0; ?>
<div <?php if($count4%3) { echo 'class="last"'; } ?>>

to:

<?php static $count4 = 1; ?>
<div <?php if($count4%3==0) { echo 'class="last"'; } ?>>

(the code with two columns only worked by chance)

Wonderful! You are a maestro at this. I would love to understand what it is you did here… cause I am having one pending weird bug on IE7 with the two column setup. If you have IE8 you can change it to IE7 mode and see what I mean.

Only on the first section of the two column setup, do you see that the third row has a freak column flushed to the right rather than left. It continues a column structure at a different point:

This is the code:

<div class="c2" style="margin-top:20px;"><!-- Basic //-->
<h1 class="basic hr"><span>Basic Repairs and Diagnostics</span></h1>
<?php if ( is_page() ) {  ?>
<?php
$args = array( 'post_parent' => 5, 'post_type'=> page, 'orderby'=> menu_order, 'numberposts'=> 10, 'order'=> ASC );
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) :	setup_postdata($post); ?>
<?php static $count1 = 0; ?>
<div <?php if($count1%2) { echo 'class="last"'; } ?>>
<?php $pu_price = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'pu_price', $single = true ); // grab price custom field ?>
<h2><em><?php the_title(); ?></em><span class="price">($<?php echo $pu_price ?>)</span></h2>
<p><?php $excerpt = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'excerpt', true); ?>
<?php echo $excerpt; ?></p>
</div>
<?php $count1++; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php } ?>
</div><!-- c2 //-->

<div class="c2"><!-- Advanced //-->
<h1 class="advanced hr"><span>Advanced PC Windows and Mac Upgrades and Hardware Installations</span></h1>

<?php if ( is_page() ) {  ?>
<?php
$args = array( 'post_parent' => 63, 'post_type'=> page, 'orderby'=> menu_order, 'numberposts'=> 10, 'order'=> ASC );
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) :	setup_postdata($post); ?>
<?php static $count2 = 0; ?>
<div <?php if($count2%2) { echo 'class="last"'; } ?>>
<?php $pu_price = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'pu_price', $single = true ); // grab price custom field ?>
<h2><em><?php the_title(); ?></em><span class="price">($<?php echo $pu_price ?>)</span></h2>
<p><?php $excerpt = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'excerpt', true); ?>
<?php echo $excerpt; ?></p>
</div>
<?php $count2++; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php } ?>
</div><!-- c2 //-->

Thanks for walking me out almost completely out of the code “woods.”

At first I thought it had something to do with having a missing </div> in there somewhere. But I just validated.
