MySQL DB > Multi-Col/Row table

Recommended Posts

Hello,
It has been awhile since I have used PHP, but I am trying to get back into it.

I have a MySQL db with multiple items (duh) and would like to put three items per row on a table so:

[code]
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
[/code]

etc, etc...

Well, I just can't figure out the right steps of while loops, etc to make a row, add three cols of data, and then make a new row...

If someone could give a hint or some pseudo code that would be great. I am not looking for tested code or 100% accurate code - I want to actually put work into this but my mind is drawing a blank and I would prefer to not FTP this file 1000x per minute with me changing things..

Thank you,
Scott

You could set up a counter, start a new row and reset it every third count. i.e.

[code]$count = 1;

echo '<tr>';

while( $row = mysql_fetch_array($query) )
{
   echo '<td>'.$row[field].'</td>';
  
   if($count == 3)
   {
      echo '</tr><tr>';
      count = 0;
   }

   $count++;
}

echo '</tr>';[/code]

Thank you very much! That worked like a charm - now let me sit down and analyse it...
