Sorting Information into rows

[scrypte]

ok i'm trying to do this:

PICTURE PICTURE PICTURE
PICTURE PICTURE PICTURE
PICTURE PICTURE

sort information fromt the database so it shows 3 per row, here is the coding:

<?
include('lib/config.php');

$sql = "SELECT * FROM submissions WHERE contest=$contest_id";	
$r = mysql_query($sql);

$numofrows = mysql_num_rows($r);
for($total = 0; $total < $numofrows; $total++) {
$row = mysql_fetch_array($r); //get a row from our result set
$picid = $row['id'];
if($total % 3) { //this means if there is a remainder
	?>
	<img src=imgproc.php?subid=<?=$picid?>>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
	<br>
	<?
} else { //if there isn't a remainder we will do the else
	echo "<img src=imgproc.php?subid=$picid>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;";
	}
}
//now let's close the table and be done with it
?>

<?php
include 'lib/config.php';

$query = "SELECT id FROM submissions WHERE contest=$contest_id";
$result = mysql_query($query);

for ($i = 0; $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); ++$i) {
	echo '<img src="imgproc.php?subid=' . $row['id'] . '">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;';
	if ($i % 3 == 2) {
		echo "<br />\n";
	}
}
?>
