Question

I want to ask about output a table in php after looping some data. Previously, I always do loop data to table just horizontally or vertically. But right now, I want to put this looping data to a table horizontally and vertically, so the result could be like this:

data1 | data2 | data3 | data4

data5 | data6 | data7 | data8

and still like that until looping over. So i get 1 data from my table and put it on like that.

My code right now is:

<?php 
require ('server.php');
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ekskul");
if (mysql_num_rows($query) < 1) {
    echo "No data.";
} else {
    $i = 0;
    while ($roweks = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
        echo '<tr class="dark">';
        echo "<td>$roweks[nama]</td>";
        if ($i % 4 == 0) {
            echo "</tr>";
        }
        $i += 1;
    }
}
?>

I don’t get logic about throw the result horizontally, because what I get is always vertically:

data1

data2

data3

...

datan

Use tr opening before the while loop if condition occurs then close the tr and open new tr ..

<?php
    require ('server.php');
    $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ekskul");
    if (mysql_num_rows($query) < 1) {
        echo "No data.";
    } else {
        $i = 1;
        echo "<table>";
        echo '<tr class="dark">';
        while ($roweks = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {

            echo "<td>".$roweks['nama']."</td>";
            if ($i % 4 == 0) {

                echo "</tr>";
                echo '<tr class="dark">';
            }
            $i += 1;
        }
    }
    echo "</table>";
    ?>
