hard coding views into two column

[corbeeresearch]

Hi,

I'm not sure where to put this, but since it is drupal views, I post it here.

 

I need to divide a one field table into two columns. I was thinking that if the rows is greater than or equal to sixteen, it would divide take the first half of the content to the first td then the other half to the second td

 

But how do I do that? I'm still a newbie in php, so I'm not sure what sql coding to use to command it

 

here is the original views table code though:

 

<?php
// $Id: views-view-table.tpl.php,v 1.8 2009/01/28 00:43:43 merlinofchaos Exp $
/**
* @file views-view-table.tpl.php
* Template to display a view as a table.
*
* - $title : The title of this group of rows.  May be empty.
* - $header: An array of header labels keyed by field id.
* - $fields: An array of CSS IDs to use for each field id.
* - $class: A class or classes to apply to the table, based on settings.
* - $row_classes: An array of classes to apply to each row, indexed by row
*   number. This matches the index in $rows.
* - $rows: An array of row items. Each row is an array of content.
*   $rows are keyed by row number, fields within rows are keyed by field ID.
* @ingroup views_templates

?>
<table class="<?php print $class; ?>">
  <?php if (!empty($title)) : ?>
    <caption><?php print $title; ?></caption>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <?php foreach ($header as $field => $label): ?>
        <th class="views-field views-field-<?php print $fields[$field]; ?>">
          <?php print $label; ?>
        </th>
      <?php endforeach; ?>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
  	<?php foreach ($rows as $count => $row): ?>
      <tr class="<?php print implode(' ', $row_classes[$count]); ?>">      
        <?php foreach ($row as $field => $content): ?>
          <td class="views-field views-field-<?php print $fields[$field]; ?>">
            <?php print $content; ?>
          </td>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
      </tr>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
  </tbody>
</table>

 

I was thinking it has something to do with modifying this line, but how do I do that?

<?php foreach ($rows as $count => $row): ?>
