Hi folks. New to PHP and MySQL. Got my database set up no prob. Now for the display. All the PHP code I've researched shows how to display in tables, but with rows only. I want to create a table with 5 columns. In each cell, I want to display the name of a picture and the picture using the info from my db. Each picture will have a link to a another page in the site. This is for an on line shopping web site. Looked into Zen and other carts, but I was hoping to create my own so I could make it unique. Maybe just a control freak! Hope someone can help.

you might be better off modifying something like zen, if your new to it, it might be a bit easier that way...

Thanks for replying. In the meantime, I did find PHP script for a 3 column table and modified it. Got it to work and am fine-tuning it for my needs now.

columns are related to the <td></td> table cell tag for example:


<table border='0'>
<tr>
<td>Name of pic1</td>
<td>Name of pic2</td>
<td>Name of pic3</td>
<td>Name of pic4</td>
<td>Name of pic5</td>
</tr><tr>
<td><img src='pic1.jpg' border='0'></td>
<td><img src='pic2.jpg' border='0'></td>
<td><img src='pic3.jpg' border='0'></td>
<td><img src='pic4.jpg' border='0'></td>
<td><img src='pic5.jpg' border='0'></td>
</tr><tr>
<td><a href='page1.php'>Name of page1</a></td>
<td><a href='page2.php'>Name of page2</a></td>
<td><a href='page3.php'>Name of page3</a></td>
<td><a href='page4.php'>Name of page4</a></td>
<td><a href='page5.php'>Name of page5</a></td>
</tr>
</table>thats the basics, you just need to add the script to populate the table. (and some css)

Thanks, but I have no problem with html code, and I already got the table to display in 5 columns beautifully. Now working on pagination. Posted a new thread for that one.
