how to echo results into column counts ?

Anyone any hints how I echo my results into a column array, I'm trying to print say 4 results then <br> for new line... column

<?php
$path = "../templates/";
$dh = opendir($path);
$i=1;
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
    if($file != "." && $file != "..") {
        echo "<img src='../templates/$file/$file.gif'> <button class='buttonclass' type='submit' name='file' value='$file'>Change - $file</button>";
        $i++;
    }
}
closedir($dh);
?>

PHP:

 

what is a column array?
do you mean a html table?

 

probable

Yeah <td>echo 4 results</td> then <br or tr> I guess

4 across and whatever amount the results reveal down

 

sory i did not understand exactly i try to make it now

 

I have this result from the script above


I'm trying to get this type of result


4 results across then <br>
another 4 across and <br> etc..

 

<?php
$path = "../templates/";
$dh = opendir($path);
$i=0;
echo '<table border="1">';
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
    if($file != "." && $file != "..") {
	if(is_int($i/4) || $i == 0) echo '<tr>';
        echo "<td><img src='../templates/$file/$file.gif'> <button class='buttonclass' type='submit' name='file' value='$file'>Change - $file</button></td>";
   	if(is_int(($i-3)/4)) echo '</tr>';    
		$i++;
    }
}
echo '</table>';
closedir($dh);
?>

PHP:

this outpust
<table>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
<td>4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>5</td>
<td>6</td>
<td>7</td>
<td>8</td>
</tr>
....
</table>

This is just a simple <br> after 4 on the row

 <?php
$path = "../templates/";
$dh = opendir($path);
$i=0;

while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
    if($file != "." && $file != "..") {

        echo "<img src='../templates/$file/$file.gif'> <button class='buttonclass' type='submit' name='file' value='$file'>Change - $file</button>";
   	if(is_int(($i-3)/4)) echo '</br>';    
		$i++;
    }
}
echo '</table>';
closedir($dh);
?>

PHP:

 

<?php
$path = "../templates/";
$dh = opendir($path);
$i=1;
echo "<table>";
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
    if($file != "." && $file != "..") {
        echo "<tr><td><img src='../templates/$file/$file.gif'></td><td><button class='buttonclass' type='submit' name='file' value='$file'>Change - $file</button></td></tr>";
        $i++;
    }
}
echo  "</table>";
closedir($dh);
?>

PHP:

this way it constructs a table with 2 columns, one with the image and the other with the button.

edit: ok I didn't see the new messages, i didn't understand what you wanted. now you have the solution.

 

<?php
include('connex.php');
echo "<table class='later' border=0>";
	$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM joace ORDER BY vot DESC LIMIT 40");
$columns=4;
	for ($i=0;$i<mysql_num_rows($result);$i=$i+1)
{
if($i % $columns == 0) {
echo "</tr><tr>"; }
$nume=mysql_result($result,$i,nume);
echo $nume;
echo "</td>";
 
}
	 mysql_close($conex);
	echo  "</tr></table>";
	?>
