change display format

[dougvcd]

i use this code to display info
displays 1 line under another i would like to be able to change this to say 2 fields side by side without using tables
this is the code i use at the moment

// Output

Echo "<b>ID:</b> ".$info['id'] . " <br>";
Echo "<b>Name:</b> ".$info['name'] . " <br>";
Echo "<b>State:</b> ".$info['state'] . " <br>";
Echo "<b>Type:</b> ".$info['type'] . " <br>";
Echo "<b>Email:</b> ".$info['email'] . " <br>";
Echo "<b>Date:</b> ".$info['date'] . " <br>";
Echo "<b>Area:</b> ".$info['area'] . " <br>";
Echo "<b>Details:</b> ".$info['details'] . " <br>";
Echo "<b>Photo:</b> ".$info['pname'] . " <br>";
Echo '<a href="update.php?id='.$info['id'].'">Update</a>';
Echo '<hr />';

If you want columns the best way is using tables, but you can also achieve it with for example floating div tags.

<div style="width:400px;line-height:20px;">
<div style="float:left;width:200px;">Column1</div>
<div style="float:left;width:200px;">Column2</div>
</div>

This is more of an HTML issue than PHP though

Why don't you want to use tables?

That's what they're there for...

<?php
$output = array();
while($info = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
    foreach($info as $key=>$value){
        if(!isset($output[$key])){
            $output[$key] = array();
        }
        $output[$key][] = $value;
    }
}
echo '<table border="1">';
foreach($output as $name=>$row){
    echo '<tr>';
        printf('<th>%s</th>', $name);
        foreach($row as $cell){
            printf('<td>%s</td>', $cell);
        }
    echo  '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
?>
