you don't need to, but if you really want to ...
echo "<table border=\"0\">\n";
echo "<tr>\n";
$photocount = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{ $smallpic = $row['smallpic'];
echo "<td>$smallpic</td>\n";
if (($photocount % 3) == 2)
{ echo "</tr>\n<tr>\n";
}
$photocount++;
}
// this should add empty cells until the row is complete
while ($photocount % 3)
{ echo("<td></td>");
$photocount++;
}
echo "</tr>\n";
echo "</table>";
