Thanks everyone that helped with this, I finally got it working - Ed's version was the one I tweaked and got to work. It was pretty close to working as-is, but needed an incrementing variable in the if(isset($Row)) statement to be used in the print $Row[] line. Here's the final working code, if anyone else out there wants a vertically-displaying table:
$cols = 5; $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); $rows_col = ceil($num_rows / $cols); print "<table><tr>"; for ($i = 0; $i < $cols; $i++) { print "<td>"; for ($j = 0; $j < $rows_col; $j++) { if (isset($array)) { $a++; print $array[$a] . "<br>"; } } } print "</td></tr></table>"; -----Original Message----- From: Lazor, Ed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 3:05 PM To: 'Jason Soza'; Lazor, Ed Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] Re: Table Making Well.... then... $TotalCol = 5; $NumRows = mysql_num_rows($Results); $RowsPerCol = ceil($NumRows / $TotalCol); print "<table><tr>"; for ($i = 0; $i < $TotalCol; $i++) { print "<td>"; for ($j = 0; $j < $RowsPerCol; $j++) { $Row = mysql_fetch_array($Results); if (isset($Row)) print $Row[0] .

Again, what I'm looking for is a vertically laid-out table. So instead of: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 I want: 1 6 11 2 7 12 3 8 13 4 9 14 5 10 15 To give you an idea of why I want this, check out www.jdhsgrads.com - this is the site I'm currently working on. When you see the list of graduation years, your eye (well, at least mine) wants to follow the dates top to bottom, left to right. As it is now, you have to work to see the progression and find out where you want to go to locate a specific date. I'm hoping the code I posted will create something like: <table> <tr> <td> <table> <tr><td>1941</td></tr> <tr><td>1942</td></tr> <tr><td>1943</td></tr> </table> </td> <td> <table> ... Make sense?
