ahhhhh, i got it...
ok, try this:
$length is arbitrary...
$x is your counter...
do the loop as before, but each time through the loop, $loopcount++;
So, if you do the loop 5 times, $loopcount == 5.
Then, at the end, $length - ($loopcount*$x) gives you the amount of <td> </td>'s to
echo. Put another for loop with these parameters after you've printed your normal
td's...you could do this all in one for loop, and would just need some more if
statements...
i think this is what you need...let me know how it goes...
