cycle()

TextHelper::cycle

(

)

Creates a Cycle object whose cycles through elements of an array every time it is called.

This can be used for example, to alternate classes for table rows. You can use named cycles to allow nesting in loops. Passing an Array as the last parameter with a 'name' key will create a named cycle. The default name for a cycle without a 'name' key is "default". You can manually reset a cycle by calling reset_cycle and passing the name of the cycle.

Parameters

mixed

"$string, $string, array('name' => $name)" Array is optional. $string are the element through it will cycle

Returns

string Return current value of the cycle
