Displaying data from database on tables but with different query

[lanx2cool]

hi guys im a student studying php and sql

In my code i am able to display data and add new table for every 2 data.

here is the code:
[php]$query = “SELECT * FROM student ORDER BY average DESC”;
$result = mysql_query($query);
$num = mysql_numrows($result);

echo “

”;

$i = 1;
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo “

”;

// end and create a new table every 2 rows
if ($i % 2 === 0) {
	echo "</table>";
	echo "<table cellpadding=2 border=1><tr><td>StudentID</td><td>Name</td><td>average</td><td>date</td></tr><br />";
}
$i++;

}

echo “

StudentID	Name	average	Date
” . $row[‘studentID’] . “	” . $row[‘lastname’] . ", " . $row[‘firstname’] . “	” . $row[‘average’] . “	” . $row[‘date’] . “

”;[/php]

here is the output of my code:
