how do you display three records then start a new row?

I'm doin a script and I want 3 resaults and then start a new row can some one tell me what code to use?

do you want all the first three results in one row? so like

---------------------------
| result_1 result_2 result_3 |
---------------------------
| result_4 result_5 result_6 |
---------------------------

Ok I'm no php professional, but this is what I did once for a client of mine and it seemed to work. Basically it displays the results upto 3 columns per row or 3 results per row, once the 3 results has been displayed, it goes to the next row.

$number, this variable controls the total amount of data you want to display.

also you have to change this part

Code:

SELECT id, image, link, category FROM $table

to whatever your table is setup to.

and last, change this the same way,

Code:

$row[link]

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

$username="database_username";

$password="database_password";

$database="database_name";

$table="table_name"; //the sql table name that you want to pull out the data from

$number="6"; //the total amount of results that you want to display



$i = 1;

$e = 2;



//number of columns of the table generated

$column = 3;



//connecting to mysql

mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);

@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database"); 



$getresults = mysql_query("

    SELECT id, image, link, category FROM $table  

    ORDER BY id ASC

    LIMIT $number");

    

echo "<table><tr>";

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($getresults))

{

echo "<td>";



echo "<p>$row[link]</p>";

       

echo "</td>";



if ($i == $column) {



echo "</tr><tr>"; 



$column = 3*$e;



$e++;



}  

    

$i++;



}



echo "</table>";    



?> 

<br />

hope this helps ;)

how can this be done with vb?

I personally did it by putting the forum's db info and connecting to forum's database.

oh well I'll just use what you gave me.

Just go to a place like Sitepoint.com and do a search for the term "Modulus" and you will find loads of info on easy solutions. I would answer direct but I'm headed off to work. :D

Can you there wasn't any thing at sitepoint
