Please help with MySQL

Hi

I really need some help with a small problem with my php and mysql coding...

can u please take a look at this site:

http://duntuk.co.uk/ali/

and login with the username: abdaal.ali@gmail.com, and the password 116111

if u then go to http://duntuk.co.uk/ali/comptest.php, u will see some tables arranged in groups of 2, but the stuff in each pair is exactly the same...

I would like to get a result of something like : http://duntuk.co.uk/products.php, with the tables in 2 columns.

At the moment i am using the while ($row...) with a div containing the 2 tables, side by side. The loop is working fine, but i need to know how i can change the values in the second table to match a new record, if this makes sense

This is the code i am currently using:

<?php require "include.php"; ?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
      <?php 
  
  
  $i = 0;
  
  

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($compactive))
{
$cid = $row[id];
$ctype = $row[type];
$reqentno = $row[maxentries];

$prizequery = "select * from prizes where compid='$cid' limit 0,1" ;
$prizename = $connect->ex("$prizequery","name");
$prizeimg = $connect->ex("$prizequery","img");
$prizedesc = $connect->ex("$prizequery","dscrip");

$entriesquery = mysql_query("select * from entries where compid='$cid'");
$cent = mysql_num_rows($entriesquery);

So, the thing i need help with is:

Using PHP and MySQL, how do I get all the tables to show different records from the database, and not have 2 showing the same thing?

I have tried using one of the mysql multi-column tutorials in this forum, but for some reason it didnt work...

Can someone please help me or point me in the right direction for this?

Thanks ever so much
