Jessica Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 You're mixing tables and div, you have the logic but you're printing new table rows, and you're not using table cells. Clean up your HTML. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/274305-display-images-in-two-columns/#findComment-1411576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tychonaut Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Ugh. Getting a headache looking at the code. I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but you could also use this idea maybe? Basically build your 2 columns *beforehand* ... and then deposit each item one by one, switching back and forth with your modulo operator. (Silly var names for educational purposes only) <?php // set up your empty column HTML string holders $col-A-html-string = ""; $col-B-html-string = ""; while ($record = mysql_fetch_object($result)) { // build each item (we are staying inside PHP here) $item-html-string = ""; $item-html-string .= "<h2>" . $record->title . "</h2>"; $item-html-string .= "<p>" . $record->info . "</p>"; ..etc... // flip flop and deposit each item into one or other of the holders if ($count++ % 2 == 0) { $col-B-html-string .= $item-html-string; } else{ $col-A-html-string .= $item-html-string; } } ?> // finally drop the column string vars into the appropriate locations <div class="col-A"><?php echo col-A-html-string ?></div> <div class="col-B"><?php echo col-B-html-string ?></div> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/274305-display-images-in-two-columns/#findComment-1411657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 PHP variable names cannot contain -, that will produce a lot of errors. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/274305-display-images-in-two-columns/#findComment-1411677 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tychonaut Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 You are of course right. Thats why I said the silly var names are for "educational purposes only" .. I just wanted them to be self explanatory, and I find the font spacing here reeeeeeaaallllly tiny, so I spaced the names out a bit. I_should_have_used_underscores.

Jessica Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 The problem is it's not educational to use something that flat out will not work. Yes, underscores will work.

Tychonaut Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I wasn't sure that all posted code had to be useable *as is*. I will watch for that in the future. I guess my uncommented ".. etc .." was a baddie as well? Sorry.. I'm new here. Of course, it wouldn't be hard to get monospace code formatting going on the posts, right? On a site for code t'would be a nice "extra". Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/274305-display-images-in-two-columns/#findComment-1411773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 We have code tags for that. You might want to review our rules and guidelines. OP, I'm marking this solved unless you come back and have a problem still.
