How to print output in colums?

I have been struggling with printing colums. For example i want to pull out results from database and want to display those data in 3 colums by splitting it.

how to do it in a easy way.

 

The simplest way to do this would be to output the database contents into a HTML table.

$query = mysql_query("SELECT something FROM somewhere"); ?>

<table>
<th> Col 1 </th>
<th> Col 2 </th>
<th> Col 3 </th> <?php

while($r = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { ?>
<tr>
<td> <?php echo $r['col1data']; ?> </td>
<td> <?php echo $r['col2data']; ?> </td>
<td> <?php echo $r['col3data']; ?> </td>
</tr> <?php
} ?>
</table>

That should do the job.
