I have an array with many values, I want to achieve a list like this with PHP.

$arr is having 18 elements and $html will have all html string with ul

$len = count($arr);
$html = '<ul><div class="item"><div class="thumb">';
for ($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++) {
    if(!$i%6 && $i != 0){
        $html .= '</ul></div></div><ul><div class="item"><div class="thumb">';
    }

    $html .='<li>content</li>';
}
$html .='</ul></div></div>';

for 18 elements this will contain like

6 elements

6 elemnt

I'm assuming you're generating HTML <ul> tags inside your PHP loop. Use the following code:

for($ind = 1; $ind <= 18; $ind++)
{
    if($ind <= 6) // Loop 1 through 6
    {
        // Add <ul> elements here.
    }

    else if($ind >= 7 && $ind <= 12) // Loop 7 through 12
    {
        // Add <ul> elements here.
    }

    else if($ind >=13 $ind <= 18) // Loop 13 through 18
    {
            // Add <ul> elements here.
    }
}

Please mark it as answer if it solves your problem.

The Answer from developerCK is better, because if you have more that 18 Elements, than in your solution you will have to add an another if-case.

$counter = 0;
foreach($arrayElems as $elem) {
    $counter++;
    if ($counter < 6) {
        // build ul of first 6 elements
    }
    else if($counter < 12) {
        // build ul of next 6 elements
    }
    else {
        // build ul of next 6 elements
    }

}
