TinyButStrong PHP Templating multicolumn table -

i'm using tbs sample code:

  include_once('tbs_class.php');   $tbs = new clstinybutstrong;   $tbs->loadtemplate('template.htm');    $list = array('x','y','z');   $tbs->mergeblock('blk', $list);   $tbs->show(); 

but instead of 1 column table below

<table>   <tr><td>x</td></tr>   <tr><td>y</td></tr>   <tr><td>z</td></tr> </table> 

i want multicolumn (for instance 4 column) table.

so far working code found is:

$number_of_columns = 4; $number_of_rows    = 2; $number_of_items = $number_of_columns * $number_of_rows; $output_data = array('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8');  $tbs->mergeblock('col','num',$number_of_columns); // expand columns $tbs->mergeblock('od',array_slice($output_data,0,$number_of_items)); 

and template

<table border="1">                 <tr>[od;block=tr;serial]<td>[od_[col.val;block=td].val;block=td]</td></tr> </table> 

is there simpler?

if want display items sequentially this

 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 

then can :

1) use serial mode in tbs example. purpose of parameter , example quite simple.

2) change items in data source $output_data, there 1 record per row.

script :

$data = array(    array(1, 2, 3, 4),    array(5, 6, 7, 8),    array(9, 10, 11), ); $tbs->mergeblock('od', $data); 

template :

<table>    <tr>      <td>[id.0;block=tr]</td>      <td>[id.1;noerr]</td>      <td>[id.2;noerr]</td>      <td>[id.3;noerr]</td>    </tr> </table> 

3) don't change data, instead change html template. instead of table, use <div> fixed width. in div, use entity positioned in line, such <span> width is quarter of <div>. each <span> displayed sequentially line break each 4 <span>.

$output_data = array('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8'); $tbs->mergeblock('od', $output_data);
