wontl work in my app going mad

 

<?phph

		while ($category = mysql_fetch_array($category_query)) {
			
?>
	
<a class="mainpagekeyword" href="<?php echo generate_link('category.php',$category['slug']);?>"><div align="center" class="mainpagekeyword" style="color: #<?php echo $catcolour ?>;"><?php echo $category['category']; ?></div></a>
					
					
<?php
			}
	?>

i need to split the array so there more keywords side by side with a table like my above first example....

 

the above code gives you words with  links and then you can go to a dynamic other page.

 

now if i add another 10 words, i need it side by side like my first above example ,  if i leave it  a very long list.

 

but how does it split with a while loop this time ...

 

need real help.

 

advance thank you.

easier to use floating divs instead of a table

 

$a=array("a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z");

$cols = 2;
$i = 0;
foreach ($a as $item) {
    if ($i % $cols == 0 && $i) {
        echo "<div style='clear:left'></div>";
    }
    echo "<div style='float:left'>$item</div>";
    ++$i;
}
echo "<div style='clear:left'></div>";

Your post title and first two posts were about any ARRAY and your last post is using a while() loop from a database result. Those are very different things. Doing what you want with an array is very easy using array_chunk().

 

foreach(array_chunk($array, $column) as $row)
{
    echo "<tr>\n";
    foreach($row as $item)
    {
        echo "<td>{$item}</td>\n";
    }
    echo "</tr>\n";
}

 

Of course, you could always dump the DB results into an array first.

You need to turn on error reporting, and you'd see a big problem.

 

Edit: Uh oh, what have I done? :-P

<?php
			while ($category = mysql_fetch_array($category_query)) {
?>
	
<a class="mainpagekeyword" href="<?php echo generate_link('category.php',$category['slug']);?>"><div align="center" class="mainpagekeyword" style="color: #<?php echo $catcolour ?>;"><?php echo $category['category']; ?></div></a>
					
<?php
			}
?>

the web mason,, can you split this or not to two tables?

[redarrow]

Done,  i just limited 2 tabels to 10, i  used two select's  and two while loops.

 

dont no any other way.

try

$i = 0;
while ($category = mysql_fetch_array($category_query)) {
    $ref = generate_link('category.php',$category['slug']);
    if ($i % 2 ==0 && $i) echo "<div style='clear:left'></div>";
    echo <<<TXT
    <div align="center" class="mainpagekeyword" style="float:left; color: #$catcolour">
        <a class="mainpagekeyword" href="$ref">
        $category['category']
        </a>
    </div>
TXT;
    $i++;
}
echo "<div style='clear:left'></div>";
