Print x number of cells across?

[duckduckgoose]

I'm querying a database, the results of which will be placed into a table.
I want to make sure that the table is only 3 cells across, each cell containing one record.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Sure, e.g., :

$i = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  if($i ==3)
    {
    echo "</tr><tr>";
    $i = 0;
    }
  echo "<td>$row['somecol']</tr>";
  $i++;
  }

Make sure you play a bit with ending your table properly, e.g., doa loop to spit out the last </td></tr> set
