Hi how do i get my repeat regions from dynamic tables to display across the page.

on somepages i want two per line and on others i want three or four?

at the minute they are listed down the page??

thanks in advance

i'll let you look at the asp version bc im not sure of the syntax for php but the theory is the same

Code:

 'varialbes
 const intNoPerRow = 2
 dim intCatCount
 dim intTotCats
 
 <% if not rsStore.eof then %>
 ^^- if there are records in the database continue running script
 <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3">
 			  <tr>
 <%
 'loop for getting all records from database
   do while not rsStore.eof
 %>
 	  <td><div align="center">this is the stuff that will be repeated across page</div></td>
 <%
 	  intCatCount = intCatCount + 1
 intcatcount stores the number of columns in the current row
 	  if intCatCount = intNoPerRow then
 check if we are at our max per row now, if we are start new row
 %>
   </tr><tr>
 <%
 		intCatCount = 0
 'reset counter for columns
 	  end if
 	rsstore.movenext
   loop
 %>
 </table>
 <%end if%>

the <% is the same as your <?php and %> is the php close tag

i can explain in more detail if necessary

with a for() loop you could do that.. see this for example:

PHP Code:

$array = array(1, 2, 3 ,4 ,5);



for ($i = 0; $i < count($array); $i++) {

    echo $array[$i];



    if (isset($array[++$i]))

        echo " $array[$i] <br />";

    else

        break;

} 

not the best code, but it will print 2 elements in a line..
