i\'m pretty new to this and not sure how should i do it,

I\'ve got a database with a column called \"names\"

Answer 1

You know accomplish this by assigning the row count before you start the variable and few flags to know initialized loop or started/ended loop.

$i = 1;
$initFlag = false;
$flag = "closed";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    if($i%3 == 0) $initFlag = false;
    if($flag == "closed" && ($i == 1 || $i % 3 == 1)) { 
        echo ""; $flag = "started"; $initFlag = true; 
    }

    echo ''.$row['names'].'';

    if(!initFlag && $flag == "started" && $i % 3 ==0) { 
        echo ""; $flag = "closed"; 
    }


    $i++;
}
