Results in a Mutiple colums

I need to know how to display results in 2 or more columns.
Ex; currently my database results dispaly like this.

Id url
1 mysql.com
2 mysql.com
3 mysql.com
4 mysql.com

I want it display like this

1 mysql.com 2 mysql.com
3 mysql.com 4 mysql.com

Here the my code.....please modify it

<? 
require("config.php");
$icat = $_GET['cat'];

mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass) or die("ERROR:".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db) or die("ERROR DB:".mysql_error());
$max = $npr; 
$p = $_GET['p'];
if(empty($p))
{ $p = 1; }
$limits = ($p - 1) * $max;



if(isset($_GET['act']) && $_GET['act'] == "view")

{ $id = $_GET['id'];
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE id = '$id'");
 while($r = mysql_fetch_array($sql))
{ $title = $r['url']; $id = $r['id']; }

      }else{

    

      $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE cat = '$icat' order by id   LIMIT ".$limits.",$max ") or die(mysql_error());
 
 

    $totalres = mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(id) AS tot FROM $table WHERE cat = '$icat' order by id DESC"),0);

 

      $totalpages = ceil($totalres / $max);

 
     

      while($r = mysql_fetch_array($sql))

      {
 
      $url = $r['url'];
	   $lid = $r['id'];
      echo "$url - $lid<br>";

      }
  
      //close up the table



      for($i = 1; $i <= $totalpages; $i++){

      //this is the pagination link
  
      echo "<a href='index.php?p=$i&cat=$icat'>$i</a> | ";
	      }
		  echo"</div>";
	}
      ?>

I got the coding from php.net
Here the code for other

<?php
$display = 4;
$cols = 0;
echo "<table>";
while($fetched = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    if($cols == 0){
        echo "<tr>\n";
    }
    // put what you would like to display within each cell here
    echo "<td>".$fetched['id']."<br />".$fetched['name']."</td>\n";
    $cols++;
    if($cols == $display){
        echo "</tr>\n";
        $cols = 0;
    }
}
// added the following so it would display the correct html
if($cols != $display && $cols != 0){
    $neededtds = $display - $cols;
    for($i=0;$i<$neededtds;$i++){
        echo "<td></td>\n";
    }
     echo "</tr></table>";
    } else {
    echo "</table>";
}
?>
