Question

I want to print mysql_query result in a table. I know how to do it but I am just confused. I tried this.

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die("Could not Connect.");
mysql_select_db("check") or die("Could not Select DB");
$table = "cc";
$i = 1;
$query = "select * from $table";
$sql = mysql_query($query);
if($sql){
echo "<table border='5'><tr>";
while($i<=2 && $row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
echo "<td>" . $row[id] . " : " .  $row[name] . "</td>";
++$i;
}
echo "</tr><tr>";
while($i<=4 && $row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
echo "<td>" . $row[id] . " : " .  $row[name] . "</td>";
++$i;
}
echo "</tr><tr>";
while($i<=6 && $row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
echo "<td>" . $row[id] . " : " .  $row[name] . "</td>";
++$i;
}
echo "</tr><tr>";
while($i<=8 && $row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
echo "<td>" . $row[id] . " : " .  $row[name] . "</td>";
++$i;
}
echo "</tr><tr>";
echo "</tr></table>";
}

?> 

As you can see it is written again and again with a slight change of 2,4,6,8 in the while loop. It works but the problem is I cant rewrite it again and again as when the website will go live it will have more than 1000 entries. Could You guys help me out by suggesting another way to do this?

<?php
$i = 1;
mysql_connect("localhost" , "root" , "") or die('Could not Connect.');
mysql_select_db("db") or die('Could not select DB.');
$query = "select * from `check`";
$sql = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
echo "<table border='5' width='50%'><tr><th>Name</th><th>Gender</th></tr></table><table border='5' width='50%'><tr>";
if($i<3){
echo "<td align='center'>".$row['name']."</td>";
echo "<td align='center'>".$row['gender']."</td>";
++$i;
} else {
echo "<td align='center'>".$row['name']."</td><td align='center'>".$row['gender']."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
$i = 1;
echo "<tr>";
}
}
echo "</table>";
?>
</div>
