Flow control statements should not be written like function calls.

One does not have to reset the counter if one uses the modulo operator, %, 
to determine the indexes that are divisible by 3 without remainder.

  ++$counter;
  if ($counter % 3 === 0)
  {
    …
  }

or

  if (++$counter % 3 === 0)
  {
    …
  }

If the array is not associative and not sparse, the index is implicit and 
starting from 0, so no counter is needed.  0 is divisible by 3 without 
remainder, so one has to look for the remainder 2 for the third, sixth etc. 
element [2 ≡ 1 (mod 3)]:

  foreach ($mylist as $index => $element)
  {
    if ($index % 3 === 2)
    {
      …
    }
  }

Or, if this is too confusing,

    if (($index + 1) % 3 === 0)
    {
      …
    }

Don’t.
