I really don't understand what you need? You can tell us more clearly? But I think you change structure table to div, it will be better for your loop.

 

ive never used Div,

and to be more clear. i want the Link and text to be right next to the image

 

I have viewed your code and you can try this

<?php

    require('connect.php');
   
    $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM articles WHERE category_id='7' ORDER BY article_id DESC ")
    or die(mysql_error());  
   
    echo "<table width='100%' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='5'>";
    // keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
    // Print out the contents of each row into a table
    echo "<tr><td width='130'>";
    // image
    echo '<img name="myimage" src=' . $row['image'] . ' width="120" height="80" />';
    // article name
    echo "</td><td style='vertical-align:top;text-align:left;' width='99%'>";
    echo '<p><a style="font-size: 16px" href="'. $row['url'] .'">'. $row['article_name'] .'</a>'; echo "<br />";
    // author + date
    echo "<small>";
    echo "<b>AUTHOR : &nbsp;</b>"; echo $row['author']; echo"&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src='menuvertline.gif' style='vertical-align:center' width='2' height='10'> &nbsp;&nbsp;"; echo "<b>DATE POSTED: &nbsp;</b>"; echo $row['posted']; echo "<br />";
    echo "</small><br /><br />";
    echo "</td></tr>";
}

?>

Been a while since I have seen someone laying out a page with TABLES... CSS would make your life a lot easier plus produce cleaner code.

 

ive only been coding for about 2 years, and sorta just learnt html then css. i think i would take so long to change it all now

 

I started back in the 90's where every web page has a series of nested tables with in nested tables with in nested tables etc. When CSS support started to become more common I *figured* it would take too much of my time to learn CSS so I continued to ignore learning it. Finally one rainy day I decided to play around with it. With in a couple hours I was able to do most things people use CSS for to layout a page. Ever since then my development time has been greatly decreased and my HTML code is much smaller and no longer a headach to update. With CSS you can create changes to your entire layout by touching one file as appose to using tables which must be on every page. I absolutely suggest taking an afternoon to learn basic CSS. It will make your life easier and you will look back at using tables and say "geesh...I can't believe I use to waste my time designing table layouts"

 

okay, if i did this, i would have to work for a couple weeks changing all the pages wouldnt i??

 

Who knows.

 

so you highly recommend me getting my skills good in css, then re designing the site?

 

Using CSS requires less HTML code and more control over the design. With CSS you can change an entire layout on a website without editing each page. With that said alone I highly recommend learning CSS. In fact, using CSS is the standard for designing today.

I would redo your website if you plan on updating it. It sounds to me that you are still creating it. How many pages is it?

 

I have about 100-150 pages
