php-counter
===========

[](#php-counter)

Simple counter for PHP

Why needed
----------

[](#why-needed)

Sometimes you need to display a counter steps in a loop where the index of the loop is consumed by a non-serial number.

```
$workHoursLog = [
    '2016-01-01'=>10,
    '2016-01-02'=>10,
    '2016-01-03'=>8,
    //...
];
```

As you can see, the key is not a serial number, any you may want to display in a table:

```

```

result will be

```

        1
        2016-01-01
        10

        2
        2016-01-02
        10

        3
        2016-01-03
        8

```

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

Simply, call the nextOrInit method and pass a unique variable which will hold the counter object, optionally a second parameter which is the start, and a step:

```
\ItvisionSy\Counter\Counter::nextOrInit($counter,[$start=0,[$step=1]]);
```

Or you can initiate

```
//initiate
$counter = new Counter(0,1);
//OR
Counter::nextOrInit($counter, 0, 1);

// get current value
echo $counter;
//OR
echo $counter();
//OR
echo $counter->current();

//next step
$counter->next();
//OR
$counter(true);
```
