PHP Results into Columns

[tpass]

Hello - hope you are all well.

 

I am creating a website for a family friend who has a shop. See preview of the site in this picture ....

 

Currently the results are showing in one column. I want to show them in three columns in the format of:

 

1 2 3

4 5 6 

7 8 9 etc

 

But formatted with the picture and then the title and the border.

 

The current code i have is....

 

 

HEAD

 

<?php

$sql = "SELECT * FROM abs_productcat WHERE catid = $catid ORDER BY catid ASC";
$can = mysql_query($sql);
$catname = mysql_fetch_assoc($can);

?>

 

 

 

BODY

 

 <?php while ($row_pro = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_proddetails)) { ?><tr>
                            <td><table width="243" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="15" cellspacing="0" class="sectionborders">
                             
                              <tr>
                                <td height="120" align="center"><p><strong><a href="indproducts.php?ProductID=<?php echo $row_pro['ProductID']; ?>"><img src="products/product_<?php echo $row_pro['ProductID']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $row_pro['ProductName']; ?>" height="120" class="sectionborders" border="0" /></a></strong></p>
                                  <p><strong><a href="indproducts.php?ProductID=<?php echo $row_pro['ProductID']; ?>" class="products"><?php echo $row_pro['ProductName']; ?></a></strong></p></td>
                              </tr>
                              </table></td>
                          </tr>
                          <tr>
                            <td> </td>
                          </tr> <?php } ?>

 

 

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!

Tip: you can use the <> icon in the tool bar to post your code, so that it will have syntax highlight and will be easier to read.

 

The first step for you would be to try to achieve the result in pure / hardcoded HTML first. Try to do this, then try to apply it to your PHP code.

I find it easier to use divs with a float:left and width ~30% of the enclosing area.

Thank you so much for your help all. I have gone down the Div route, thank you Barand!!
