Any help > will be greatly appreciated. The other answers are generally correct but a bit hard to follow. Try this: <?php // declare variables $col = 0; $numcols = 0; // == fn startTable =============== function startTable($columns) { global $col, $numcols; // reset variables $col = 0; $numcols = (int) $columns; // start table echo "\n<table>"; } // === fn addColumn ============== function addColumn($str) { global $col, $numcols; // first column? start row if ($col == 0) echo "\n\t<tr>"; // echo cell contents echo "\n\t\t<td>$str</td>"; // last column? end row and reset $col++; if ($col == $numcols) { echo "\n\t</tr>"; $col = 0; } } // ==== fn endTable =============== function endTable() { global $col, $numcols; // pad the table as necessary for ($i = $col; $i < $numcols; $i++) addColumn('&nbsp;'); // end table echo "\n</table>"; } // ======= MAIN ================= mysql_connect("host", "user", "pwd") or die("Error connecting: ".mysql_error()); $query = "SELECT image_link,web_url FROM testdata"; $result = mysql_db_query("db", $query) or die("Error querying: ".mysql_error()); startTable(2); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) addColumn( $row["image_link"].'<br>'.$row["web_url"] ); endTable(); ?> How's that?
