Split Joomla Database result in 3 columns - php

Question

I am trying to split the mysql query result using joomla sql syntax and stuck as to how I can split the same in three columns.
my query for which I am getting the result in single column is like this:
$db = JFactory::getDbo();
$query = $db->getQuery(true);
$query = "select m.member_name name from member m,club_name c where pst in (6,35,39,40) and c.id=m.club_name and c.id = '{club_name___id_raw}'";
if (!$query) {
echo 'Could not run query:' . mysql_error();
exit;
}
$i = 0;
$db->setQuery($query);
$results = $db->loadObjectList();
$text1 .= '<table style="border:1px solid silver;padding:2px;">';
$text1 .= "<tr><th>Past President</th><th>Past President</th></tr>";
foreach ($results as $result) {
$text .= "<tr><td>";
$text .= $result->name;
$text .= "</td></tr>";
$text .= "<br/>";
}
$text .= "</table>";
return $text1 . $text;
I am getting the result like
Past President
Jaydeven
Ashok
surendra
Narendra
Gopal
I want the result like
Past President Past President Past President
Jaydevan Ashok Surendra
Narendra Gopal
How can modify the above query to get the result as shown
Thanks.

Answer 1

Ok I somewhat achieved what I wanted. I have edited the query like below:
$db->setQuery($query);
$results = $db->loadObjectList();
//var_dump($results);exit;
$text1 .= '<table style="border:1px solid silver;padding:2px;width:800px;">';
$text1 .= "<tr>";
$i = 0;
foreach ($results as $result) {
if ($i % 3 === 0) {
$text .= "</tr><tr>";
}
$text .= "<td>";
$text .= $result->name;
$text .= "</td>";
$text .= $i++;
//$text .= "<br/>";
}
$text .= "</tr></table>";
return $text1 . $text;
Only problem I am now facing in my result set is I am getting a
string of number i.e. 0123456
if the result contains 7 items, which couldn't hide.
Thanks.
