How to make it like only three offers in row? NOW I have one row and all offer is in one line; I just want to show max three td in tr and loop.

Answer 1

if you only want 3 tds in a row, build it into your loop:
//opener
<table>
//1st row
foreach($offer_list['item'] as $item) {
content.= <tr>;
content.= <td>$item[id]</td><td>$item[image]</td><td>$item[etc]</td>;
content.= <tr>;
//2nd row
content.= <tr>;
content.= <td>$item[description]</td><td>$item[etc]</td><td>$item[etc]</td>;
content.= <tr>;
}
content.=</table> //or div, etc
however it sounds like you want to position elements around like a product? Use inline divs for this. (no point in a example unless you elaborate what you want to do..)
