In this code I am displaying posts in three columns. It works well if I have three or more than 3 posts but if I have only one post or two, they spread through out table, Is there any way by which I can restrict a post to take place only meant for it. If I have only one post to display , table should have one post and two empty spaces.

PHP

<table>
<tr>
<?php do { //horizontal looper?>
<td>
<div><h2><?php echo $row['title']; ?></h2></div>          
<div><p><?php echo $row['body']; ?></p></div>
<img src='<?php echo $row['pic']; ?>'>
<div><p><?php echo $row['about']; ?></p></div>
</td>
<?php
$row = $query->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
if (!isset($nested_List)) {
$nested_List= 1;
}
if (isset($row) && is_array($row) && $nested_List++%3==0) {
echo "</tr><tr>";
}
} while ($row); //end horizontal looper 
?>
</table>

You can put fixed widths on your columns.

Solution 1

Use 3 td and put each div into each td. Then use colspan to show 3 td properly. You might need to give width for each td as well

HTML

<table>
<tr>
<td colspan="3/">
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td><div> put your data here</div></td>
<td><div>data></div></td>
<td><div>data</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
