simple loop? help

[Bob Bedford]

I do probably need a good coffee, but I can't find out a simple way to do
so.

Let's say I want to create a table using a number I receive.
For every number, I must have a table with maximum 5 columns.

Example:
10 will gives 2 rows of 5 columns
12 will gives 2 rows of 5 columns and a row of 2 columns.
.....

The problem is that I've to keep the value of every cell like this for 12
1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
11 12

How to do so ?
I've done this so far:
$columns = 10;
$lines = $columns / 5;

for($K=0;$K<=($lines+1);$K++)
<?php for($K=0;$K<=($lines+1);$K++){?>
<tr>
<?php
for($I=1;$I<=($columns-($K*5));$I++)
echo('<td align="center">Colonne '.($K*5+$I).'</td>');
?>
</tr>

But It doesn't work properly. I can't figure out a simple way.

Thanks for helping.

<snip>
Try this (not tested, you may have to adjust it)

<?php
$received = 12;

echo '<table>';
$count = 1;
while ($count <= $received) {
if (($count % 5) == 1) echo '<tr>';
echo "<td>$count</td>";
if (($count % 5) == 0) echo '</tr>';
++$count;
}
if (($count % 5) != 1) { // generate empty cells
while ($count++ % 5) echo '<td>&nbsp;</td>';
echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';

I wouldn't use tables for this, I would use divs.
example:http://www.reenie.org/test/test21.php
<?
include "../../lib/geolib.php";
$s="
.cell{width:16%; margin:1px;float:left;border:solid 1px; padding:2px;}
h4{margin:0; padding:1em 0 0 0; clear:both;}
";

$t="5 cell css table";

$num=8;
$p.=h4("number of cells is $num");
for($i=0; $i<$num; $i++)
$p.=div("Colonne $num",NULL,'cell');

$num=12;
$p.=h4("number of cells is $num");
for($i=0; $i<$num; $i++)
$p.=div("Colonne $num",NULL,'cell');

echo html($p, head($t,NULL,$s));
?>

Here's a non liquid version of the same page:

I simply added a wrapper with a width
