Need help with loop rows and columns

[forcom]

I have 50 states and I want my loop display 5 columns.

 

right now my loop displays all 50 states in one column. I setup a table but I don`t know how to echo </td></tr><tr><td> every ten states in the loop.

 

I am trying to get it to do

 

1                                                continue

2                                                7

3                                                8

4                                                9

5                                                etc.

6 break echo </td></tr><tr><td>

Can you post the relevant code?  You said you want to display every 10 rows, yet your example does not exemplify this.

 

You have to use the modulus (%) operator in your while loop to check if the row count is divisible by 10 (every 10 rows).

 

 

NOTE - Is there a reason you posted in the Framworks section?  If not, I can move this to the more popular, "PHP Help" for additional help.

Sorry about the example it would have been too much typing.  You can move it to help.

 

$ctryfrom = "SELECT DISTINCT country FROM table";
$ctry = mysql_query($ctryfrom);

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($ctry)){
$countrynames = $row['country'];

echo '<table><tr><td>';
echo "$countrynames";

//I want to echo </td></tr><tr><td> to add another column in the table. How can I set it to echo
            }

Here's what you have to do:

 

- Put your table tags outside the while loop.

- You need to use the modulus operator (%) to see if the total number of columns is divisible by 10 (every 10) and create a new row.
