PLEASE HELP - BEGINNER

[Anon]

Hello and thanks in advance. I am beginning to learn PHP and mySQL with a project that my boss gave me. I need some help with a certain part. I have a database and I am retrieving assoiciated cities based of what state a user has selected.

I am trying to write out those cities in a table so that the cities are going across a table 3 <TD> wide.

Please help, I believe I need some type of for or while loop. If I have reached the third <TD> then start a new <TR>.

$count=0;
echo "<Tr>";
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($cities))
{
echo "<td>$row[city]<td>";
if ($count++=3)
{
echo "<tr>";
$count=0;
}
}
