Dynamic table

[Anon]

Hi all,

Can anyone explain to me how to loop one field from a recordset in an html table, creating a table from 4 cols by 4 rows?
This to create a table of thumbnails.

I can't seem to get this done, though I would really like to figure it out myself. =) So just hints please! =)

Thanks in advance

Its unusual for someone to just want hints most people just want the code.

these may help.

You need two loops one will do each cell across and the other will do the rows.

If you just want one field then just use that one fieldname over and over.

hope thats helps.

Thanks for your reply Mark. Really appreciate it. However, I'm still missing something. I realise I'm probably way to anxious to learn something by only being sent in the right direction.. =( So maybe you can give me some code that sets me on the right foot? Thanks again!

Its good that you dont just want the answers on a plate. I for one love a challenge. Admittedly sometimes a program will not go right and I just want it over with but thats just me.

ok the basic code would be something like

<?

echo "<TABLE border=1 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=2>\n";

for( $loop=0; $loop<4; $loop++ )
{
echo "<TR>\n";
for ( $loop2=0; $loop2<4; $loop2++ )
{
echo "<TD>";
// output your field here.
echo "&nbsp;</TD>\n";
}
echo "</TR>\n";
}
echo "</TABLE>\n";

?>

It will generate a 4x4 table on the screen.
