You could use an HTML table with three columns. The basic structure is:
<table>
<tr valign=top>
<td>first column</td>
<td>second column</td>
<td>third column</td>
</tr>
</table>
That said, the trick is to figure out how many elements are in your array and
then to decide how many columns to display.
$n = count($array);
$n3 = ceil($n/3); // or try floor()
print "<table><tr valign='top'><td>";
foreach($array as $element)
{
print $element;
print (++$row % $n3) ? "" : "</td><td>";
}
print "</td></tr></table>";
