>>
>> <?php
>> $cols = 2;   // Change value for any number of columns
>> $cell = 0;
>> foreach($catResult['data']as $key=>$catData){
>> if( ($cell % $cols) == 0 ) { echo "<tr>\n"; }
>> ?>
>>     <td height="42"><img src="<?php echo $catData['PhotoURL'][0];?>"
>> width="120"></td>
>>     <td><?php echo $catData['Full Name'][0];?><br>
>>       <?php echo $catData['UserName'][0];?><br>
>>       <?php echo $catData['Export Title'][0];?><br>
>>       <?php echo $catData['Level Number'][0];?> <?php echo $catData['Calc
>> Group Short'][0];?></td>
>> <?php
>> if( (($cell+1) % $cols) == 0 ) { echo "</tr>\n"; }
>> $cell++;
>> } ?>
>>
>> Hope this helps someone.

>>     </tr>
>> <?php
>> $i++;

>> The result is half the found set is in one table row that the other half in

>>
>> Does this make sense?  Is what I want possible?
