[PHP] Table formatting

[César Aracena]

Hi all.
 
Last nite I’ve came across a problem I wasn’t able to figure out by my
self. It’s not difficult to make a loop that will make new *TABLE ROWS*
(<tr>) to show several DB objects in a nice way… what I need to do, is
to display 2 or maybe even 3 of this objects stored in a DB per table
row, separated in different *TABLE COLUMS* (<td>)… how can I achieve
this? What I usually do is:
 
------------------------------
// DB QUERY
$query = “SELECT * FROM table_name”;
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
 
// NOW THE LOOP
for ($i=0; $i<$num_rows; $i++)
{
     $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
     echo “<tr>”;
     echo “<td>”;
     echo $row[whatever];
     echo “</td>”;
     echo “</tr>”;
}
------------------------------
 
but how can I get 2 or 3 columns displaying different db objects? A loop
inside a loop?
 
Thanks in advance,
