[Please Help] What is the code to show numbering

To show numbering, use an ordered list tag <ol> instead of an unordered list tag <ul>.

Iridiax, that didn’t make any difference – it only caused an indentation towards the left of the list. In the past I used to use this code:

<?php $my_post_count++; echo $my_post_count . '.'; ?>

to display numbering. But the above code needs to be entered for every number. For example if I wanted all list items to be numbered I would have to do this:

• <?php $my_post_count++; echo $my_post_count . ‘.’; ?> Something 1
• <?php $my_post_count++; echo $my_post_count . ‘.’; ?> Something 2
• <?php $my_post_count++; echo $my_post_count . ‘.’; ?> Something 3

and so on…

I was wondering if I can say in php: All list items within this div are to be numbered.

So I can do it in one swoop instead of doing it one by one?

Anyone have a solution please?

Maybe try this something like this:

<ul>
<?php $my_post_count++; echo '<ol>' . $my_post_count . '.</ol>'; ?>
</ul>

Not sure what the ‘.’ is before the closing ‘ol’ tag, so you might need to play with it.

Actually scratch that. I don’t think what I entered above is what you are looking for. I think you need to enter those tags around that which you want numbered.

I’m such an idiot, iridiax’s solution does work. I couldn’t see the numbers before because I had a css valuse of display: block on my list which was preventing the numbers from showing for whatever reason. Thanks.
