Question

Ok I have this code:

<?
$name=$_POST['name'];

$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("juliver", $con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM items WHERE id='$name'");
$ss = ""
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{   
    $ss .= "<div style='border:1px solid red; float:left; width:100px;'><img src="Images/media'.$row['name'].'" />";
    $ss .= "<p>".$row['title']."</p>";
    $ss .= "<p>".$row['description']."</p>";
    $ss .= "<a href='".$row['link']."'>".$row['link']."</a></div>";

}

mysql_close($con);
?>

<? echo $ss; ?>

Now, I want to organize the display, therefore, I want the record to be set by 3 but the only problem where im stuck is I dont know how to make it to display in by set of 3. Im open for a suggestion, please help me. Thank you.

Answer 1

a function

function sqlArr($sql){
  $ret = array();
  $res = mysql_query($sql) or trigger_error(mysql_error()." ".$sql);
  if ($res) {
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($res)){
      $ret[] = $row;
    }
  }
  return $ret;
}

a code

mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("juliver");

$name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']);
$data = sqlArr("SELECT * FROM items WHERE id='$name'");
$data = array_chunk($data,3);
include 'template.tpl.php';

a template

<table border='1'>
<? foreach ($data as $row): ?>
  <tr>
<?   foreach ($row as $cell): ?>
    <td><?=$cell['id']?><?=$cell['title']?></td>
<?   endforeach ?>
  </tr>
<? endforeach ?>
