multiple outputs to mysql_query()

i want my mysql query result to output 2 mysql output rows for every <tr> set. I'm used to just doing a do/while statement for a single mysql output per row. example: //the code i have essentially does this ----------------------------------------- <?php echo '<table>'; $result = mysql_query("SELECT * from table WHERE type='default'"); do { echo '<tr><td> ' . $myresult[column] . '</td></tr>'; } while ($myresult == mysql_fetch_array($result)); echo '</table>'; ?> -------------------- //outputs: <table> <tr> <td>data for row 1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>data for row 2</td> </tr> ...etc... </table> ------------------------------------------- i want it to output like this: <table> <tr> <td>data for row 1</td> <td>data for row 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>data for row 3</td> <td>data for row 4</td> </tr> ...etc... </table> ------------------------------------------ if anyone can help me with alternating like this or knows where i can find a resource tutorial on it please tell me.. thanks -Adam
