Hi - can anybody point me to a tutorial to do the following:


I am running a SQL SELECT statement which returns the URL addresses of
images which when clicked on will link to another page - no problem in
doing that.

What I am having difficulty in is lining these up in a html table 3
images across the page.

i.e.

<table>
<tr>
<td>image</td>
<td>image</td>
<td>image</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>image</td>
<td>image</td>
<td>image</td>
</tr>
</table>

Any help would be appreciated.

The modulus operator in the while loop you're fetching the results in works
wonders. Basically, set up a counter, check to see if the counter modulus
3 = 0. If it does, break off that row and start a new one.
