Display Problem

[runthis]

When im displaying a list of data horizontally it overflows out of the table, doing overflow:hidden in css only hides what i want to display, how do i get the data to just jump one line down when its reached the maximum width i allow

[robert_gsfame]

just create a condition then..

 

$td=1;

then loop $td...after reach a total <td> you wish to have then

 

if($td==3){

echo "</tr><tr>";  ==>close and create new line... n dont forget to set back your $td

$td=1;}

 

hope it helps

i was hoping for a fancier way than putting an if statement in my loop

 

Lets say i display 20 items and the last 2 are off the page, ok i set my if statement to 18 and throw in the <tr></tr> to display the next 2 underneath

that means if i want the user to display 56 things i have to code if 18 <tr></tr> if 36<tr></tr>

 

Thats bad coding, is there a better way?

Is the data for the fields coming from a database query?

[robert_gsfame]

okay fast coding

assume i have 15 records n i wish each row to have only 2 records to be displayed then

i will do like this

 

<table><tr>

<?php

$myrecord=array("bla","bla","bla","bla","bla","bla","bla","bla","bla","bla","bla","bla","bla","bla","bla");

$td=1;

for($i=0;$i<count($myrecord);$i++){

if($td==3){

echo "</tr><tr>";

$td=1;}

echo "<td>$myrecord[$i]</td>";

$td++;

}

?>

</tr></table>
