formating output in table <Td>accordingly

jansky

hi to all

i have script that generate output in table format but the output is in column type arrange how can i do that in row type arrange

the current output was


<table>
<tr>
          <Td> one </td>
           <td>two</td>
</tr>
<tr>
          <Td> three </td>
           <td>four</td>
</tr>

but suppose to be

    [CODE]

<table>
<tr>
<Td> one </td>
<td>three</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<Td> two </td>
<td>four</td>
</tr>

[/CODE]

Any ideas?

my current code


$sql=mysq_query($str);
$ctr=0;
echo '<table>';
while ($r=myql_fetch_object($sql))
{
$ctr++;

  if ($ctr % 2) ==0 echo "</tr><tr>";

 echo "<Td>".$r->name."</td>";

}
echo '</table>';

conradbf

try this:

$sql=mysql_query($str);
echo '<table>';
$ctr=1;
$row1="<tr>";
$row2="<tr>";
while($r=myql_fetch_object($sql)){
if($ctr%2==0){$row2.="<td>".$r->name."</td>";}
else{$row1.="<td>".$r->name."</td>";}
$ctr++;
}
$row1.="</tr>";
$row2.="</tr>";
echo $row1.$row2."</table>";

sweet. tnx for directing me i do play around to the code in fact that is the basic logic

now the real problem is that this table can have a lots of row not only lots of column
it can have 5 rows with 2 columns
20 rows with two columns
20 rows with three columns
etc..

when i change the mod value (if $ctr % 2==0) it just add the add the <td>

is there still work around for this?

tnx
