Populating a html table across with data from mysql

Recommended Posts

Is there a way to pull the data from the database to populate the html table going across and then down to the next row and across?

 

I'd like to place all the fields from the database in one td.  Like so:

 

CONTACT DETAILS:

 

Title                                |  Title                            |    And so forth there are three columns so another after this.

1st line address            |  1st line of address      |

2nd line address            |  2nd line of address    |

Town                              |  Town                          |

Post code                      |  Post code                    | 

 

The row then from the mysl is title, 1st_line, 2nd_line, Town, Postcode.

 

I can't figure out how I can populate the html fields across and then down onto the next row.

 

I hope this makes sense!

I'm thinking I would do it with a foreach in an array but can't figure out how to do it..  have googled for an answer and tried many things but can't get to work..  If someone is able to point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.

try something like this

<?php
$sql = "SELECT title, 1st_line, 2nd_line, Town, Postcode
        FROM mytable";
$res = mysql_query($sql);

while (list($title, $line1, $line2, $town, $postcode) = mysql_fetch_row($res)) {
    echo "<div style='width:30%; float:left; margin-bottom:10px'>
        $title<br />
        $line1<br />
        $line2<br />
        $town<br />
        $postcode
    </div>";
}
?>
