Another way is to set a testing variable and then print an <hr> if it
changes
(this off the top of my head, probably bugs in it but you get the idea)
while $myrow=mysql_fetch_row($result) {
if $myrow["dishtype"]<>$test {
echo "<hr>";
//here you would print the rest of the info about the dish from the row
}
$test=$myrow["dishtype"];
}
