    I have a script that needs to loop through a lot of data. I am going to use tables (if any can do the css that would be better) and I am running into this bump. I want it to look like this:

    +------+ +------+
    |Data | |Data |
    +------+ +------+
    |data | |data |
    +------+ +------+

    But it looks like this

    +------+
    |Data |
    +------+
    |data |
    +------+
    +------+
    |Data |
    +------+
    |data |
    +------+

    How do I get it like the first example?

    first example:
    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>data</td>
    <td>data</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>data</td>
    <td>data</td>
    </tr>
    </table>

    so for your loop, you'd want something like:
    $i = 0;
    $table = "<table>";
    while (whatever) {
    if ($i == 0) {
    $table .= "<tr><td>$data</td>
    $i++;
    }
    else {
    $table .= "<td>$data</td></tr>
    $i--;
    }
    }
    $table .= "</table>";
    pretty sure that should work.
