tthat search does not work.

Edit I found this code that will and won't work it works with out the templeat but with it it doesn't start a new row heres my code:

PHP Code:

$counter=3; 
     $rows = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "table WHERE active='1'");     
    while ($row = $db->fetch_array($rows)) { 
    if($counter % 3 == 0){ 
         echo "<tr>"; 
    } 
    ?> 
    <td> 
    <?php echo $row['name']; ?> 
    </td> 
    <?php 
    if($counter % 3 == 0){ 
        echo "</tr>"; 
        $counter=1; 
        } 
    $counter++; 
}
