RE: [PHP] putting a list of data into 3 columns?

You don't need to count...in your loop you can do something like this: if($current_pos%3==0){ //then you're at a multiple of three //code to start new column here } -jack -----Original Message----- From: DRN [mailto:donaldrnoble@NOSPAM.yahoo.com] Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2001 2:55 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] putting a list of data into 3 columns? Hi, I would like to display a list of products from a MySQL database in 3 columns. as shown below: Product A Product D Product G Product B Product E Product H Product C Product F The problem I have is I don't know how many products there will be, so I can't just print out the first 3, start new column, print out next three, start new column, print out rest, end table. I presume I will have to count the number of results, then use this to wok out how many have to go in the first column etc. As I have only recently started using PHP / MySQL I am not sure how this should be done, has anybody done this (or something similar) so that I could look at the relevant code.
