Array Chunk problem

[Joss]

I am trying to use array_chunk to split a pile of results from a table field into two columns

This is my code:

$testimonials = $pages->get("/")->testimonials;
$testcount = $testimonials->count();
$resultnum = ceil($testcount / 2);

echo $resultnum;
foreach(array_chunk($testimonials, $resultnum) as $list){

	echo "<div class='block block12 '>";
	echo "<p>hello column</p>";

	foreach($list as $test){
	echo "<p class='quote'>{$test->text}helo</p>";
	echo "<p class='from'>{$test->from}</p>";
	} //end inner foreach

	echo "</div>";
}

The problem, according to debug, is that it says that:

Warning: array_chunk() expects parameter 1 to be array, object given in /home/justright/public_html/site/templates/testimonials.php on line 30

Parameter 1 is $testimonials.

I am echoing out $resultnum, and that is giving the right value and I have used my selector without array_chunk and it is definitely outputting the content of the table field.

So why does it not work in the above case?

While WireArray objects of ProcessWire are countable they are still not real arrays, so you need to use getArray() on the object to get the array of a WireArray object. Then you can use all the array functions.

Solved - I needed to tell it what it was:

$testimonials = $pages->get("/")->testimonials;
$testcount = $testimonials->count();
$resultnum = ceil($testcount / 2);

echo $resultnum;
foreach(array_chunk($testimonials->getArray(), $resultnum) as $list){

	echo "<div class='block block12 '>";
	echo "<p>hello column</p>";

	foreach($list as $test){
	echo "<p class='quote'>{$test->text}helo</p>";
	echo "<p class='from'>{$test->from}</p>";
	} //end inner foreach

	echo "</div>";
}

So, added getArray

Thanks to this little post as a clue from Netcarver
