Need help with php and html tables

Hi.

I want to modify table design structur of a script, http://tinyurl.removed (where it shows newest videos). Currently it displays the 3 thumbs in speperate rows, but I would need to have them in 1 row (beside each other).

I tried modifiyng the code but have no clue how to get it that way, so hopefully someone can help me out!
thanks so much in advance!

<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
  <td width="30%" valign="top" align="left">
  <?php
$cache_stats = cache_time('frontpage_newest',$cache_frontpage_newest);

     while ($newest_row = $db->fetch_assoc($results))
     {
       //DESCRIPTION
       if (strlen($newest_row['description']) > 240) 
        { $description = substr($newest_row['description'], 0, 240) . "..."; }
       else 
        { $description = $newest_row['description']; }
       
       //NAME
       if (strlen($newest_row['name']) > 50)

Try that, backup your file first.

 

@shallowink
That gave me a syntax error

EDIT: after hours of trying I finally got it right I had to to add a

</td>
    <td>

PHP:

after

 <table border="0" width="30%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
               <tr>
                 <td width="100" height="150" rowspan="2" valign="top" align="left">
                   <a href="'.$url.'">'.$icon.'</a>
                 </td>
               </tr>
               </table>[PHP]

to make it a tribble column table after the echo of that table.
