Is there an easy way to display the list results in 3 columns? I've tried a variety of options using css to control it, but it's not recognising the column where to put the informaton.

thanks

Hi,

Is the issue formatting the column with CSS or getting the php script to automatically put information into the correct column?

If you could attach the .php file you are working on as well as a link to the output you're currently getting, we can try to make some suggestions.

Hope this helps

Hi,

I think the issue here is that all of your table information is inside the foreach loop. So your entire nested structure is output for each record. What you need is to have your top level table outside the loop and your nested table inside.

For example:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="228" id="table1">
<tr>


<?php foreach ($listingsRecords as $record): ?>
<td style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px" bordercolor="#D4D5D6">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" id="table2">
<tr>
<td><img border="0" src="images/10w.gif" width="10" height="1"></td>
<td><img border="0" src="images/208.gif" width="208" height="1"></td>
<td><img border="0" src="images/10w.gif" width="10" height="1"></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td><img border="0" src="images/9h.gif" width="1" height="9"></td>
<td><img border="0" src="images/9h.gif" width="1" height="9"></td>
<td><img border="0" src="images/9h.gif" width="1" height="9"></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>
<p class="homeProductName"><?php echo $record['product'] ?></p></td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td height="70" valign="top">
<p class="body"><?php echo $record['brief_descripton'] ?></p></td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td><a href="http://www.google.com.au/">
<img border="0" src="images/details_button.jpg" width="208" height="37"></a></td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td><img border="0" src="images/5h.gif" width="1" height="5"></td>
<td><img border="0" src="images/5h.gif" width="1" height="5"></td>
<td><img border="0" src="images/5h.gif" width="1" height="5"></td>
</tr>

</table>
</td>

<?php
$maxCols=3;
if (@++$count % $maxCols == 0): ?>
</tr><tr>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach ?>

</tr>
</table>

Hope this helps get you started.
