I'm trying to figure out how to display a set of data in two columns, but I'm having some trouble figuring out how I'd code it. So I'm looking for help.
Basically, I have this page, here, that has 2 columns of data currently, but as you can see the data is the same. That's not what I want. What I want is for the data in the left column to be split in half, and put into the right column. I can't do it with static numbers because the amount of data changes for each day, so how do I do this?

The examples in this post:

...are for news stories, but you could take a look at the simple code and use the same techniques. There are two methods - the first puts each item in its own cell in a two-column format, the second (found on the second page of the thread "New and Improved" just makes a two column table and puts half the data in one and the other half in the other...

Okay... so do I define a variable, like your $GLOBALS['story_count']++; with a SQL statement or what? -

No, you just have a counter while you are looping through your results and add them to this column or that column based on if the count is even or odd... (Though it would necessarily have to be a GLOBAL var as it's all taking place in the same subroutine)
