display content in two columns automatically

[toolman]

Hi there,

 

How would I go about displaying content in two columns after I have selected the data from a database? At the moment I have all selected data in a single column, but wanted to display it in 2 columns automatically.

 

This is my code:

 

$result = mysql_query("select * from pmd_categories where level = '1' ");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

{


echo $row['title'];


}

 

I want the $row['title'] to be displayed in two columns.

 

Any suggestions?

This seems the fastest way originally explained by TheBlueEys on another forum. It uses binary numbers but if you want to check read google it or do some testing.

 

$result = mysql_query("select * from pmd_categories where level = '1' ");
$counter = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
if($counter & 1) {
echo "Odd row here";
}else{
echo "Even row here";
}
$counter++;
}

 

Of course you will have to make simple HTML in order to render your output in two columns. But I am assuming you are not requesting that kind of help .
