[FX.php List] Split results into two columns

[Jonathan Schwartz]

I think the key (no pun) is to create the content first and then 
display when done.

How about this:

Option 1:
Process the found set with the standard foreach(), test for odd/even 
records, build the even and odd record tables first and then display 
them after they are complete.

Option 2:
Process the found set with a for(), alternating left and right 
columns by testing for even/odd $key, building them first and then 
displaying, as above.

This is just the broad stroke.
