[SOLVED] alignment issue

[zang8027]

maybe this is more HTML problem than PHP but it involves PHP so here it is

 

Im doing a website that loads in images from a database. Im using a table to align them. Here is my code:

 

<?php

print "<tr>";


while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

//store into a variable the pic image
$pic=$row['bottle_pic'];


//display the row data using the variables from above
 	print "<td><img src='images/purecane/$pic'></td>";

}
print"</tr>";

?>

 

 

the problem with this is that my table stretches across my site, rather than doing like.. a line break. I gave my div tag a set width but it didn't do anything. Whats the best way to get, say 3 pictures to show up beside each other, then line break and do the same thing under it?

make a max colums variable:

<?php
$columns = 0;
print "<tr>";


while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
//store into a variable the pic image
$pic=$row['bottle_pic'];


//display the row data using the variables from above
 	print "<td><img src='images/purecane/$pic'></td>";

}
print"</tr>";
if ($columns == 3)
{
	echo "<tr>";
	$columns = 0;
}
else
	$columns++;


?>

say we are doing a total of 9 images

 

<table>
<tr>
<?php
for($x=0;$x<=8;$x++
{
echo(PHP_EOL."<td>".PHP_EOL."<img src='images/purecane/".$pic."'>".PHP_EOL."</td>");

if($x=2||$x=6)
{
echo(PHP_EOL."</tr>".PHP_EOL."<tr>".PHP_EOL);
}
}

?>

</tr>
</table>

 

something like that
