need help printing html table from a mysql table

[wil831]

what's an efficient way to make two columns per row and print the name in each? so if the mysql table had 4 names, the html table would look like:
[ name1 ] [ name2 ]
[ name3 ] [ name4 ]

i have the following code so far:

$r=mysql_query("select name from table");
while ($var=mysql_fetch_array($r){
//  print two names per row
}

$bit = 0;
while ($var=mysql_fetch_array($r)
{
if ($bit == 0)
{
echo "<tr><td>$var</td>";
$bit = 1;
}
else if ($bit == 1)
{
$bit = 0;
echo "<td>$var</td></tr>";
}
}

That should work, I have not tested it though so it might be buggy.

Take a look at this tutorial - http://codewalkers.com/tutorials/15/4.html

That's the last page of the tutorial, but if you hit the previous button, the author breaks the code down.

Hope this helps.
