it shows all results in long horizontal line how do i break the results so that they show
in new row after 3 count.

Answer 1

Add a counter and start a new row every time it reaches a multiple of 3.

$counter = 0;
while($info = mysql_fetch_array($data)) {
   if ($counter++ % 3 == 0) {
       if ($counter > 0) {
           $output .= "</tr>";
       }
       $output .= "<tr>";
   }
   // stuff
}
if ($counter > 0) {
    $output .= "</tr>";
}

$output .= "</table>";

Please note: It may not help answer your question, but you should stop using mysql_* functions. They’re being deprecated. Instead use PDO (supported as of PHP 5.1) or mysqli (supported as of PHP 4.1). If you’re not sure which one to use, read this article.
