This code is to display the products in a table with serial number as count but the count is not increasing

Answer 1

Because you are reassigning it to 1 for every iteration , initialize it before the loop starts

Answer 2

you need to set the count value before the foreach iterates over the data, otherwise the count value will not increasee
