Help: Dynamic Content Display Frame

[xxEndtimes]

Hi.

 

I have a page set up with a large box in the middle. I want to display content pulled from my server in a repeating sequence, in say, 4 items per row, and as many rows as needed to display all the relevant data. The relevant data will be defined by the bottom part of the box, where you have 12 tabs to choose from, each signifying a category for the dynamic content to filter by. IE:

<?php
$relevantData = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE 'category' = '$CurrentCategory' ");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($relevantData)){
//list array here
}
?>

 

So each tab at the bottom links the user to: "thispage.php?cat=$whateverCategoryIsSelected"

When that tab is active, an active tab graphic is the background for the tab, it just looks like its the page/section youre on. When no on the tab, it looks like a page tab underneath the current tab. Clicking an inactive tab would make it active and link you to another category.

 

THE PROBLEM: After spending the last 6 hours banging my head against a wall trying to figure out how to do this, expending various resources including tenuous google searchs and hundreds of php, html, css, guides, I come here, to see if some really super awesome individual would be willing to help me out.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
