Dividing the One Column Data into Four Columns - php

Question

I have 35 records of statename in mysql table. I have divided the data into two columns
Here is my php code for the requirement
<td>
<table class="statetable">
<?
//******Fetching State Name Dynamically*****//
$fetchstate = mysql_query("SELECT LocationName FROM servicedesklocationmaster group by LocationName ASC");
$half1 = floor(mysql_num_rows($fetchstate)/2);
echo $half1;
$count = 0;
// First Half State
while($count <= $half1 && $row = mysql_fetch_array($fetchstate))
{
$statename = $row['LocationName'];
$count++;
?>
<tr>
<td>
<font size="1.5">
<input type="checkbox" name="Location[]" id="Location" checked value="<?php echo $statename;?>" onClick="CheckEachAsset()"><?php echo $statename;?><br>
</font>
</td>
<?
}
//echo $count;
?>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>
<table class="statetable">
<?
// Second Half State

{
$statename = $row['LocationName'];

Answer 1

$quater = floor(mysql_num_rows($fetchstate)/4);
$count = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($fetchstate)) {
if($count < $quater) {
// echo table content1
}
if($count >= $quater && $count < $quater*2) {
// echo table content2
}
if($count >= $quater*2 && $count < $quater*3) {
// echo table content3
}
if($count >= $quater*3 && $count < $quater*4) {
// echo table content4
}
$count++;
}

<td>

$fetchstate = mysql_query("SELECT LocationName FROM servicedesklocationmaster group by LocationName ASC");
$quart= floor(mysql_num_rows($fetchstate)/4);

$count = 0;
$times=0;
while($times<=4 && $row = mysql_fetch_array($fetchstate))
{
$statename = $row['LocationName'];
$count++;
$times++;

<font size="1.5">
<input type="checkbox" name="Location[]" id="Location" checked value="<?php echo $statename;?>" onClick="CheckEachAsset()"><?php echo $statename;?><br>
