shawhey Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Hi. I've got an array of results being shown in tables that I want to display 2x2. The only problem I'm having is that the second result skips the first line. Everything is good after that. I'm assuming it's because my CSS is going from last to first, and I don't understand why. Can anyone help me out? Here's how it keeps turning out: http://moscowhockey.1free.ws/nhl_games.php Here is my CSS code: <style type="text/css"> .left-element { position: absolute; left: 100px; width: 50%; } .right-element { position: absolute; right: 100px; width: 50%; } </style> And this is the code for the tables: $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM games WHERE DATE(date) = '".$date."'"); $count = 1; while($r = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) { ++$count; if ( $odd == $count%2 ) { ?> <div class="left-element"> <table border="1" width="300px"> <tr><td>Teams</td> <td>Goals</td></tr> <tr><td><?php echo "$r[away_team]"; ?></td> <td><?php echo "$r[away_goals]"; ?></td></tr> <tr><td><?php echo "$r[home_team]"; ?></td> <td><?php echo "$r[home_goals]"; ?></td></tr> <tr><td></td><td><?php echo "<p align='right'><a href='gamelogs/$r[id].php'>Box Score</a></p>"; ?></td></tr> </div> <?php } else { ?> <div class="right-element"> <table align="right" border="1" width="300px"> <tr><td>Teams</td> <td>Goals</td></tr> <tr><td><?php echo "$r[away_team]"; ?></td> <td><?php echo "$r[away_goals]"; ?></td></tr> <tr><td><?php echo "$r[home_team]"; ?></td> <td><?php echo "$r[home_goals]"; ?></td></tr> <tr><td></td><td><?php echo "<p align='right'><a href='gamelogs/$r[id].php'>Box Score</a></p>"; ?></td></tr> </div> <?php } } ?> Any help would be appreciated.

Pikachu2000 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Try initializing the $count variable at 0. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/233332-showing-tables-side-by-side-skips-the-first-line/#findComment-1199915 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawhey Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 I did try that, but then the problem becomes that the last row displays the last game on the right side. So, then I tried swapping the if and the else results, and it just takes me back to the original problem.
