Re: Modulus Formatting

Hi Michael, Use a temporary variable [counter], if counter%3 == 0 then write </tr><tr> in the output. $counter=0; print "<tr>"; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "<td>".$row["user_id"]."</td>"; $counter++; if (!$counter%3) { echo "</tr><tr>"; } } That's all ;-) Ahmad Anvari ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Hall To: PHP List Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2001 10:03 AM Subject: [PHP] Modulus Formatting > I can pull data out of a database using mysql_fetch_array and assemble it like this using a while statement: > > <TR><TD>$data</TD></TR> > <TR><TD>$data</TD></TR> > <TR><TD>$data</TD></TR> > etc ... > > What I'd like to do is assemble it like this: > > > <TR><TD>$data</TD><TD>$data</TD><TD>$data</TD></TR> > etc... > > In other words, I need a break (</TR><TR>) every three times through the > loop. > > I've tried several snippets of code from this list's archive but none seem > to work.
