Styling multiple while loop results, getting them next to each other? - php

Question

I have a search form the searches through a packaging database. Everything works fine and dandy, when the search from is submitted I get returned results on a different page displayed in styled boxes with a picture. But unfortunately the seem to display one after another underneath each other. Although it is good that they are returning and I am getting the correct results. I want to be able to display three next to each other, then they go to the next row and display three more, so on and so forth until I have run out of results.
Here is the PHP:
<?php
$con = mysql_connect ("localhost", "horizon1", "D2j616H5O#Lw");
mysql_select_db ("horizon1_delyn", $con);
if (!$con)
{
die ("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
}
$descrip = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['descrip']);
$depth = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['depth']);
$varWidth = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['traywidth']);
$varHeight= mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['trayheight']);
$varRange = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['trayrange']);
$varType = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['traytype']);
$varShape = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['trayshape']);
$varImage = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['imagename']);
if (isset($varHeight) && !empty($varHeight)) {
$low = ($varHeight."00");
$high = ($varHeight."99");
} else {
$low = ("000");
$high = ("999");
}
if (isset($varWidth) && !empty($varWidth)) {
$min = ($varWidth."00");
$max = ($varWidth."99");
} else {
$min = ("000");
$max = ("999");
}
$sql = "SELECT * FROM range WHERE
description LIKE '%".$descrip."%'
AND trayrange LIKE '%".$varRange."%'
AND traytype LIKE '%".$varType."%'
AND trayshape LIKE '%".$varShape."%'
AND traywidth BETWEEN '".$min."' AND '".$max."'
AND trayheight BETWEEN '".$low."' AND '".$high."' ";
$r_query = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($r_query))
{
echo '<div id="results">';
echo '<p class="image">
<img src=" '. $row['imagename'] . '" width="150" length="80">
</p>';
echo '<div id="table"><br />
<strong> Tool Code: </strong> '. $row['toolcode'];
echo '<br /><strong> Description: </strong> '. $row['description'];
echo '<br /><strong> Tray range: </strong> '. $row['trayrange'];
echo '<br /><strong> Tray type: </strong> '. $row['traytype'];
echo '<br /><strong> Tray size: </strong> '. $row['traysize'];
echo '<br /><strong> Tray shape: </strong> '. $row['trayshape'] . '</div>' . '<br />';
echo 'Enquiry Page <br />' .
'Back to Search';
echo '</div>' . '<br />';
}
if (mysql_num_rows($r_query) <= 0){
echo 'No results match your search, please try again';
}
?>
And here is the CSS:
<style>
#boxes {
padding: 10px;
margin-top: 20px;
margin: 10px;
float: left;
display: block;
}
#results {
width: 212px;
padding: 5px;
background: #E8CF24;
display: block;
overflow:auto;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
font-color: #FFF;
border: 2px solid #cccccc;
-moz-border-radius: 7px;
-webkit-border-radius: 7px;
border-radius: 7px;
-moz-box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px #cccccc;
-webkit-box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px #cccccc;
box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px #cccccc;
}
#table {
margin-top: 10px;
width: 200px;
padding: 3px;
background: #FFF;
display: block;
overflow:auto;
border: 2px solid #cccccc;
-moz-border-radius: 7px;
-webkit-border-radius: 7px;
border-radius: 7px;
-moz-box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px #cccccc;
-webkit-box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px #cccccc;
box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px #cccccc;
}
.image {
margin-left: 28px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-top: 5px;
}
a:link {
color: #000423;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
}
</style>
I have tried to edit it with the CSS but I can change the position and padding, margins and so on forth. But I can't get them to align next to each other.
Anyone able to help? Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

In your css add this to your #results selector.
#results {
float:left
}
EDIT: Sorry that was not the correct answer. Delete the above code and look into thee below code.
Replace the while loop with the below code.
EDIT: Dont forget to initialize the $count variable. ($count = 0;)
Just copy-paste the code and it should work for you.
$count = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($r_query))
{
$t = $count%3;
echo ($t==2) ? '<div id="results">' : '<div id="results" style="float:left">';
echo '<p class="image">
<img src=" '. $row['imagename'] . '" width="150" length="80">
</p>';
echo '<div id="table"><br />
<strong> Tool Code: </strong> '. $row['toolcode'];
echo '<br /><strong> Description: </strong> '. $row['description'];
echo '<br /><strong> Tray range: </strong> '. $row['trayrange'];
echo '<br /><strong> Tray type: </strong> '. $row['traytype'];
echo '<br /><strong> Tray size: </strong> '. $row['traysize'];
echo '<br /><strong> Tray shape: </strong> '. $row['trayshape'] . '</div>' . '<br />';
echo 'Enquiry Page <br />' .
'Back to Search';
echo '</div>';
$count++;
}
This is what i get. I didnt use the css file.
