table display

[ldtiw]

Hi there,

i need to split a selection of long lists to make it look tidy. So it would change from this:

item
item
item
item
item
item
item
item
item
ect......

to a table with two coloums:

Item Item
Item Item
Item Item
Item Item
Item Item
Item Item

how would i do this? Its only using <UL> at the mo, but looks a little messy.

          <?php do { ?>
          <li><a href="schools.php?country=<?php echo $HTTP_GET_VARS['country']; ?>&region=<?php echo $row_getgegions['name']; ?>"><?php echo $row_getgegions['name']; ?></a> (<?php echo $row_getgegions['numschools']; ?>)</li>
          <?php } while ($row_getgegions = mysql_fetch_assoc($getgegions)); ?>

Thanks,
Danny Lewin

try

<?php 
$toggle = 0;
do{
	$output = '';
	if ($toggle == 0) $output .= '<tr>';
	$output = "<td><a href="schools.php?country={$HTTP_GET_VARS['country']}&region={$row_getgegions['name']}">
	{$row_getgegions['name']}</a> ({$row_getgegions['numschools']})</td>";
	if ($toggle == 1) $output .= '</tr>';
	echo $output;
	$toggle = 1 - $toggle; 
} while ( $row_getgegions = mysql_fetch_assoc( $getgegions));
?>

Thanks sarahk,

one small problem though.

for some reason, the word column is being displayed in every category at the bottom of the first column?!
