First of all - remember results display in a web browser, and if you want
to print these you will get results that are not like a normal printed page.
Second - here's an approach. Dump all records into an array, you'll have
the record count, then selectively fetch elements according to how you
want them displayed. Here's a rough approximation.
i = 1
col_lgth = 5
until i = 1+col_lgth+i
tr td
arr[i]
/td td
arr[ i + col_lgth ]
/td /tr
i ++
and keep on looping. You'll have to work out something for odd-numbered
result sets, which will not give you a balanced column.
Others may have more sophisticated displays, a CSS guru could probably do
something tricky.
I do not think you can access the $result value returned by any of the
queries with an index.

Greetings all,
I have a question.
I want to display a group of records pulled form a MySQL db in the following
fashion.
1 6
2 7
3 8
4 9
5 10
Now I can easily figure out how to display the records as
1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8
9 10
But since I am in an HTML table and the need to display the <TR> and </TR> I
am not sure how to make th logic so that I can get the first listing. Can
anyone help me out?? Need more information??
Thanks
Phillip
