Help!!!

I am completely baffled...

I know how to display data in rows etc, what i would really like to do is display data in columns say 3 columns per row and display the results down the page etc. I have tried other sites and tutorials but i just can not get anywhere.

Could any one point me in the right direction please. I would also like to style the columns for example: If i am displaying data with an image for a sub category i would like to place a css style oultline around this and then obviously repeat the pricess for the other categories.

Thanks in advance

I always use while()

if you're dealing with a mysql result for example:

PHP Code:

<?php
while ($result = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
?>
<tr>
   <td><?=$result['value']?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>

This will get you started at least.

This would be three rows, and three coloums.

Code:

<table width="100%" border="0">
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>

All you would need to do is create some count function to count up to 2 or 3, and each time it is, it's echoing the new <td></td>'s. After the count hit's to three, an if statement changes the code to echo only </tr><tr> and reset the counter back to 0. Have fun, try experiment.

Thanks for your quick responses. I will give this a go straight away.
