PHP：将大型数组总结为10个数组的最有效方法是什么？

Question

My web app returns to the user all images in a specific folder (pictures taken for each day in the month) via array of filenames. Issue is that sometimes the number of images are just too many (30-500 images).

What i wanted to do is provide a summary of that array, by reducing that array to just 10 images. I could easily get the first 10 by limiting the loop. But that just represents the first part (for few images of the day) . I wanted to get 10 images from that array in a way that the 10 images is equally spread out throughout the day.

I could think of several ways to do this but involving quite a lot of code.

Was wondering if anyone knows of a cool array function or method that solves this problem?

Answer 1

There is no built-in function in php for do that. The best thing I think is using of sizeof() function:

$size = sizeof($array);
$chunkSize = ceil($size/10);
for($i = 0;$i<$size;$i+=$chunkSize){
    echo $array[$i];
}
