It depends on what changes for each run through the loop. If the "coords" param in your HTML stays the same for each respective postion, you could move its parameter into a second array, indexed by "$i + $some_num", where $some_num is what you're incrementing $i by in your if statement.

There really isn't enough information in your post to help you further.
