Table question

coho75

Below is a form processor. When a user selects various checkboxes the data is returned in a table which is created in the code below. My question is, is there a way to place the created tables side by side, rather than above and below each other?

<html>
<head>
   <title></title>
</head>

<body>

<?php
    mysql_connect("localhost", "UN", "PW") or
        die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
    $query = "SELECT * FROM hconklin.phones_nokia WHERE id IN ('" . implode("','", $_POST['phone']) . "')";
   $result = mysql_query($query);

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

{
echo "<TABLE BORDER=1>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>{$row['name']}</td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>{$row['pic']}</td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>{$row['specs']}</td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>{$row['features']}</td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "</TABLE>";
}

?> 

</body>
</html>

Thanks for any help!

Take out the </tr> and you will have your array in a row

Do you mean to take out all of the <tr>? That would put them next to each other, but I actually want the tables to be vertical, only I want each table to stand next to the other.

Would it be possible to nest the tables inside a larger table?

By taking out all the closing </tr>'s except the last one your table would be set up in a row (horizontal as opposed to vertical).

Are you creating many tables that are vertical and you want these vertical tables to stand next to each other? As in many vertical tables in a horizontal row?

If so I would place a table inside a table

<table><tr><td><table> vertical row one info </td></tr></td></table></td>

<td><table><tr><td> vertical table to the right of vertical table 1 information </td></tr></table></td> <td><table><tr><td>vertical table 3 next to vertical table 2 information</td></tr></table>

(then close out the main table)</td></tr></table>

let me know if this helps.

Thanks seanpaulcail, your post did help. I nested the tables and got the result I was looking for.
