This is exactly what I sent you.
You have to realize that you can't print down one column, and then start a
new one.
You have to print across, left to right before you go down.
You have to modify the print statement to put it into a table, but that is
easy:
Print should be:
printf("<tr><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td></tr>",$items[$i],$items[$i+3],
$items[$i+6]);
That will print your 3 columns in a table.
And it is essentially identical to to what I sent. Just have to modify the
format of the printf statement.
You can also do it in a regular print statement:
Print("<tr><td>$items[$i]</td><td>$items[$i+3]</td><td>$items[$i+6]</td></tr
>\n");
Or how about a here doc for php4
Print <<EOF
<tr><td>$items[$i]</td><td>$items[$i+3]</td><td>$items[$i+6]</td></tr>\n
EOF
The for loop stays the same, only the print statement changes.
