Question

I am working on a very simple webshop, it should echo different products in a table of 2 <td> by 4 <tr> but now it only displays the different products downwards. Hopefully someone here can help me.

$result=mysql_query("select * from products");
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

    $artikel = '<div style="background-color:#E3E3E3;width:200px;height:200px;"><a href=""><img style="padding-top:10px;padding-left:25px;width:150px;height:150px;" src="'.htmlspecialchars($row['picture']).'"></a><br><div align="center"><b>'.htmlspecialchars($row['name']).'</b><br><h6>&euro;'.htmlspecialchars($row['price']).'</h6></div></div>';

    echo '<table><tr><td>'.$artikel.'</td>';
    echo '</table>';
}

Answer 1

Why would it display a table of 2 by 4?

You are putting every product in its own table, so the first thing to do, is move the table tags out of the loop and then you need to add logic to add a new row after every x products.

Although you don’t seem to need a table as your div has fixed dimensions, so you can just get rid of the table and use css to get the grid you want.
