I see many website that display galleries and whatnot in rows of 4 or rows of 10 and whatnot... Example:

I'm an avid PHP programmer, and I just can't think of a way of how to do it... The logic behind this type of looping... Could anyone explain the logic to me? I think this could come in handy...

Start out with a variable equal to zero.
Loop through your script and add one to the variable each time.
If it's equal to four, print </tr><tr>.
That way it will start a new row

Good luck!

Hey, logical program, the link in your sig is some kind of virus or hack. Maybe you're not aware of it, but it attempts to do something with AIM and a screen name of "Illicit Criminal." It attempts to say, "You've been owned by Illicit Criminal." If you're not the one who did this, you've definitely been hacked and are possibly spreading it to other people.

Phaedrus, I was testing an AIM crash script for someone, and I accidentally uploaded the PHP index file to the root directory... Sadly, I program in a style in which my whole website is in one file, the index. I had no backups... So, that sucks. :-/

Just make a counter, and every X number of times, insert a new row.

PHP Code:

$count = 1;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($res))
{
    if($count++ % 5 == 0)
        echo '</tr><tr>';

    // ...
} 


This will print a row of 5 items (new rows when $count / 5 with a remainder of 0 -- thus, every 5 times).
