You don't need to count...in your loop you can do something like this:
if($current_pos%3==0){ //then you're at a multiple of three
//code to start new column here
}

Subject: [PHP] putting a list of data into 3 columns?
Hi,
I would like to display a list of products from a MySQL database in 3
columns. as shown below:
Product A Product D Product G
Product B Product E Product H
Product C Product F
The problem I have is I don't know how many products there will be, so
I can't just print out the first 3, start new column, print out next
three, start new column, print out rest, end table.
I presume I will have to count the number of results, then use this to
wok out how many have to go in the first column etc.
As I have only recently started using PHP / MySQL I am not sure how
this should be done, has anybody done this (or something similar) so
that I could look at the relevant code.
Many thanks for your help, Donald
