[SOLVED] Spliting the results of a query into four rows?

[andrew_biggart]

Does anyone know how i would go about recreating this effect?

http://www.faceparty.com/browse/browse.aspx

 

im using code something along the lines of this for single entrys but i want like four in a row.

 

<?php

include("config_members.php");

$sql="SELECT * FROM User_infoT ";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
?>
<table style="width: 100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr><td class="proinfo"><? echo $rows['Profile_pic']; ?></td></tr>
<tr><td class="proinfo"><? echo $rows['Username']; ?></td></tr>
<tr><td class="proinfo"><? echo $rows['Location']; ?></td></tr>
<tr><td class="proinfo"><? echo $rows['Fav']; ?></td></tr>

</table>
<?
// close while loop 
}

// close connection 
mysql_close();
?>

 

But how would i go about coding it so that each row has four of these tables in the while loop?

 

Thanks in advance

[andrew_biggart]

ok ive tried this solution but it just has four of the same user in a row instead of four different users in each row. Is there any easy way to solve this?

 

   <br />
   <table style="width: 100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
   <tr>
   <td>
   <table>
   <tr><td class="profilepicture"><img class="profile_pic"alt="" src="../Profile_pics/admin_pp.jpg" width="100" height="100" /></td></tr>
   <tr><td class="proinfo"><? echo $rows['Username']; ?></td></tr>
   <tr><td class="proinfo"><? echo $rows['Location']; ?></td></tr>
   <tr><td class="proinfo"><? echo $rows['Fav']; ?></td></tr>
   </table>
   </td>
   <td>
   <table>
   <tr><td class="profilepicture"><img class="profile_pic"alt="" src="../Profile_pics/admin_pp.jpg" width="100" height="100" /></td></tr>
   <tr><td class="proinfo"><? echo $rows['Username']; ?></td></tr>
   <tr><td class="proinfo"><? echo $rows['Location']; ?></td></tr>
   <tr><td class="proinfo"><? echo $rows['Fav']; ?></td></tr>
   </table>
   </td>
   <td>
   <table>
   <tr><td class="profilepicture"><img class="profile_pic"alt="" src="../Profile_pics/admin_pp.jpg" width="100" height="100" /></td></tr>
   <tr><td class="proinfo"><? echo $rows['Username']; ?></td></tr>
   <tr><td class="proinfo"><? echo $rows['Location']; ?></td></tr>
   <tr><td class="proinfo"><? echo $rows['Fav']; ?></td></tr>
   </table>
   </td>
   <td>
   <table>
   <tr><td class="profilepicture"><img class="profile_pic"alt="" src="../Profile_pics/admin_pp.jpg" width="100" height="100" /></td></tr>
   <tr><td class="proinfo"><? echo $rows['Username']; ?></td></tr>
   <tr><td class="proinfo"><? echo $rows['Location']; ?></td></tr>
   <tr><td class="proinfo"><? echo $rows['Fav']; ?></td></tr>
   </table>
   </td>
   </tr>
   </table>

include("config_members.php");				
$sql="SELECT * FROM User_infoT ";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

echo '<table style="width: 100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">';
while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result)){

$myRow = '<tr><td class="proinfo">'.$rows['Profile_pic'].'</td>
			<td class="proinfo">'.$rows['Username'].'</td>
			<td class="proinfo">'.$rows['Location'].'</td>
			<td class="proinfo">'.$rows['Fav'].'</td></tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
mysql_close();
?>

 

or are you trying to do pagination ? only display 4 rows, then make up another page with 4 more rows to display ?

 

[andrew_biggart]

someone else solved it for anyone else who cares hear is the solution.

 

<div id="pagination">
<br />

// How many adjacent pages should be shown on each side?
$adjacents = 3;

/* 
   First get total number of rows in data table. 
   If you have a WHERE clause in your query, make sure you mirror it here.
*/
$query = "SELECT COUNT(*) as num FROM $tbl_name";
$total_pages = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($query));
$total_pages = $total_pages[num];

/* Setup vars for query. */
$targetpage = "page_test2.php"; 	//your file name  (the name of this file)
$limit = 4; 								//how many items to show per page
$page = $_GET['page'];
if($page) 
	$start = ($page - 1) * $limit; 			//first item to display on this page
else
	$start = 0;								//if no page var is given, set start to 0

/* Get data. */
$sql = "SELECT Username, Location, Fav FROM $tbl_name ORDER BY User_id ASC LIMIT $start, $limit";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

/* Setup page vars for display. */
if ($page == 0) $page = 1;					//if no page var is given, default to 1.
$prev = $page - 1;							//previous page is page - 1
$next = $page + 1;							//next page is page + 1
