Mulitply columns

Recommended Posts

I have this code and currently the records are going down in rows. I would like the records to appear across next to one another and be able to adjust the number of columns if I'd like. Hope someone can help

 

<table border="1" align="center">

  <?php do { ?>

    <tr>

      <td><a href="questiondetails.php?recordID=<?php echo $row_sixities['ID']; ?>"> <?php echo $row_sixities['item']; ?> <br />

      <?php echo $row_sixities['image_tb']; ?>      </a></td>

    </tr>

    <?php } while ($row_sixities = mysql_fetch_assoc($sixities)); ?>

</table>

<?php
//Var to adjust number of columns
$max_columns = 6;
  
function create_row($row_data)
{
    if(count($row_data)<1) { return false; }
    $row_output = "<tr>\n";
    foreach($row_data as $row)
    {
        $row_output .= "<td>";
        $row_output .= "<a href=\"questiondetails.php?recordID={$row['ID']}\">{$row['item']}<br />\n";
        $row_output .= "{$row['image_tb']}</a>\n";
        $row_output .= "</td>\n";
    }
    $row_output .= "<tr>\n";
    return $row_output;
}

$current_col = 0;
$row_data = array();
$table_output = '';
while($row_sixities = mysql_fetch_assoc($sixities))
{
    $current_col++;
    $row_data[] = $row_sixities;
    if($current_col%6==0)
    {
        $table_output .= create_row($row_data);
        $row_data = array();
    }
}
$table_output .= create_row($row_data);

?>
<table border="1" align="center">
  <?php echo $table_output; ?>
</table>
