This code load from mysql data based on varchar 'group' to table and put picture in each of them. It is working but result is vertical album but I want horizontal.
<?php
include "../script/connect_to_mysql.php";
if (isset($_GET['a'])) {
$ge = $_GET['a'];
$tisk = "";
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM lch WHERE `group` = '$ge' ");
$productCount = mysql_num_rows($sql); // count the output amount
if ($productCount > 0) {
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
$id = $row["id"];
$name = $row["name"];
$tisk .='<table width="120" height="120" ><br>
<tr><br>
<td height="118" colspan="2"><br><img src="../lch/ikon/' . $id . '.jpg" alt=' . $name . ' width="100" height="100" /><br>;</td>
</table>';<br>
}<br>
}<br>
echo "$tisk";<br>
}<br>
?>

$productCount = mysql_num_rows($sql); // count the output amount
if ($productCount > 0) {
$tisk = '<table width="120" height="120"><tr>';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
$id = $row["id"];
$name = $row["name"];
$tisk .='<td height="118" colspan="2"><img src="../lch/ikon/' . $id . '.jpg" alt="$name" width="100" height="100" /></td>';

echo '<table width="120" height="120">

I sort-of fixed your post, SO certainly does let you post tables within code. (I left in what might be syntax errors)
Assuming that the <br>s are an artifact of your posting messy code in the editor, you simply need to move the <tr></tr> outside the loop.
if ($productCount > 0) {
$tisk = '<table><tr>';
while(row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
$id = $row["id"];
$name = $row["name"];
$tisk .='<td><img src="../lch/ikon/' . $id . '.jpg" alt=' . $name . ' width="100" height="100" /></td>';
}
$tisk = '</tr></table>';
echo $tisk;
}
This will produce a table with all the cells in the same row, instead of a bunch of tables with all one column each.
If you then want a certain number per row, you'll need to use modulo:
if ($productCount > 0) {
$cellCount = 0;
$tisk = '<table><tr>';
while(row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
$cellCount++;
if($cellCount%5==0){
$tisk .= '</tr><tr>';
}
$id = $row["id"];
$name = $row["name"];
$tisk .='<td><img src="../lch/ikon/' . $id . '.jpg" alt=' . $name . ' width="100" height="100" /></td>';
}
$tisk = '</tr></table>';
echo $tisk;
}
