formating a table 3rows X 4cols...help!

[smirch]

<p>Hi, I have a list checkboxes being created from my DB, I need some help formating
my results in a HTML table which is 4 cols X 3 rows , instead of 12 cols X 1 row wide. I cant seem
to get this right without breaking the code which generates my list of checkboxes....<br>
</p>
<p> i.e. i need to format my results from this: </p>

<table width="100" border="1">
<tr>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<b><p>to:</p></b>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<table width="100" border="1">
<tr>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="28">
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td height="28">
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td height="28">
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td height="28">
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="rFeat[]" value="checkbox">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Can anyone offer some suggestions on this ?? The code which generates my long
list of checkboxes (12 cols wide ) is given below: </p>

$theSQLFeatures = "SELECT feature_id, feature_desc ".
"FROM carsforsalefeatures ".
"order by feature_desc";

$resultSet2=mysql_query($theSQLFeatures, $inDbConn2);
//echo $theSQLFeatures;
$vFeatCnt = count($rFeat);

echo"<table width=\"750\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"5\" cellpadding=\"5\" align=\"center\">";
//secho "<tr align=\"center\"><td colspan=\"4\"> Extras</td></tr>";

$numberofrows =mysql_num_rows($resultSet2);
$rows = ceil($numberofrows/4); // 4 columns in a row ....gives numbers of rows required rounded up to next integer
echo "numberofrows = $rows";

while ($theResult2 = mysql_fetch_row($resultSet2)) {
echo "<td><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"rFeat[]\" value =\"$theResult2[0]\"";
if (is_array($rFeat)&& (count($rFeat) >0 ) )
{
foreach($rFeat as $aKey => $aValue)
{
if (!is_array($aValue)) {

		if(empty($aValue)) {
			echo "";
		}
		else {
		//echo "ARRAY = $aKey, $aValue<BR>";
			if ($aValue == $theResult2[0]){
			echo "checked";
			}
			else {
			echo "";
			}
		}
	}
}
}
echo "><i>$theResult2[1]</i></td>";

}

echo "</tr></table>";

//

thanks in advance,

Change this:
while ($theResult2 = mysql_fetch_row($resultSet2)) {
echo "<td><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"rFeat[]\" value =\"$theResult2[0]\"";

into this:

$columncount = 0;
while ($theResult2 = mysql_fetch_row($resultSet2)) {
$columncount++;
echo "<td><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"rFeat[]\" value =\"$theResult2[0]\"";
if ($columncount == 4) {
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
$columncount = 0;
}

This might give you some ideas

<table>
<tr>
<?
$cnt=1;

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
?>
<td>some value</td>
<?
if (!($cnt%3)){
echo "</tr><tr>";
}
$cnt++;
}
?>
</tr>
</table>
