PHP add Line Break after each 5th result

Question

I'm trying to get a page break after every five instances of the word "hello!"

I could obviously go on forever with the "||" method I'm using below, but that seems to be bad coding practice. What would be a better way to write this?

              $count = 0;
              while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($results)) {
                echo "hello! "
                $count += 1;
                if ($count == 5 || $count == 10 || $count == 15 || $count == 20) {echo "<br>";}

You can do % 5 or collect all of Db results in an array, then array_chunk in 5 and then implode — nice_dev, Aug 29 '20 at 19:18

Use the modulo operator.

It checks if there is a remainder when dividing this by 5 (if it is divisible by 5):

if ($count % 5 == 0)
