I'm new here and need some help. I'm doing a web development course and have an assignment I need a hand with.
Basically, I want to send a query that picks 9 random records, and show the result as a 3x3 table.
Here's my code so far:
<div id="productgrid">
<?php
$query = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM products
ORDER BY RAND()
LIMIT 9");
?>
<h2>Featured Products</h2>
<table>
<?php
while($products = mysqli_fetch_array($query)){
$file = $products['prod_img'];
$pid = $products['prod_id'];
$product_price = $products['prod_price'];
$image_id = $products['prod_id'];
$desc = $products['prod_desc'];
?>
<tr>
<div class="bigred">
<td class="bigred">
<?php echo '<b>'. "$product_price".'</b>'; ?>
</td>
</div>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<img src="<?php echo $file ?>" height = "150px" width="150px"/><br />
</td>
<div class="smallblack"
</tr>
<tr>
<td class = "smallblack">
<?php echo '<b>' . "$desc".'</b>'; ?>
</td>
</tr>
</div>
<?php } ?>
I can get it to generate the 9 random images but it puts them all directly under each other in one long column. Is there a way I can get them to display in 3 rows of 3?
I apologise if this is a dumb question, but I'm only starting out and appreciate the help.
Thank you :)
