Going to try to explain this as best I can. I have a bunch of stuff in a database and I need to display this info within a table. This isn't a problem at all but, I need it to only display 3 td tags per line and then move on to the row.

so i need it to do :

code:

<table>
<tr>
<td>My First Row</td>
<td>My First Row 2</td>
<td>My First Row 3</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>My Second Row</td>
<td>My Second Row 2</td>
<td>My Second Row 3</td>
</tr>
</table>

and continue to do this through every entry in the database table.

so I have something like this that will display the info:

code:

for ($i = 1; $i <= $num; $i++){
	
		$chairArray = mysql_fetch_array($chairResult);
		$chairName = $chairArray['name'];
		$chairDescription = $chairArray['description'];
		$chairImage = $chairArray['image'];
		
		echo "<tr>";
		echo "<td>";
		echo "<img src=\"images/catalog/ottomans/thumbs/$chairImage\" width=\"157\" height=\"147\" />";
		echo "<br />";
		echo $chairName;
		echo "</td>";
		echo "</tr>";
		
		
	}

Rough example

So how can I make it do something like what I have and only display 3 per line?

Thanks in advance!!!

		$chairImage = $chairArray['image'];
		if ($i % 3 == 0)
{
     		        echo "</tr>";
                 		echo "<tr>";
}
		echo "<td>";

Might have to adjust it a little bit since you foolishly start counting at 1, but you get the general idea...

When the loop is done, do not neglect to deal with the remainder of 3, so if you looped once through the last mod 3 test, you'd have a remainder of 2, you'd need to either:

a) colspan last td by remainder + 1 (well, depending on how you are counting)
b) create each additional td giving it some empty value

or just do
