3 column display

The $count variable is a counter that basically ticks up every time a column is added. It's used to determine how many columns there should be in each row. Here's how the code works:

<table width="618" border="0">
  <tr>
    <h1><?php echo $gold_sponsors_titleRecord['title']; ?></h1>      
    <?php if ($gold_sponsors_titleRecord['intro']): ?><p style="line-height: 120%"><font face="Arial" style="font-size: 12px"><?php echo htmlencode($gold_sponsors_titleRecord['intro']) ?></font></p><?php endif; ?>

This starts a new set of columns and adds the title (Gold Sponsors, Partners, etc).

<?php foreach ($gold_sponsorsRecords as $record): ?>

This starts the loop that adds all the columns with the logos in them.

<td><a target="_blank" href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><img border="0" src="http://www.meetingonthegreen.com.au/cmsAdmin/uploads/<?php echo htmlencode($record['logo_name']) ?>" width="170"></a></td>            

This adds the columns themselves.

<?php $maxCols=3; if (@++$count % $maxCols == 0): ?></tr> <tr><?php endif; ?>

This bit is the important part. Basically what it does is make the counter tick up by one, and then it checks to see if the counter number is exactly divisible by 3. If so, it starts a new row of columns.

<?php endforeach ?> </tr>  </table>
</td>
</tr>

This ends the loop and closes the set.

So what should happen is that the counter should be set back to zero every time it starts a new section. If it's not being reset properly, then you get odd behaviour like you're seeing right now.

Best thing to do is show me the entire code for that page. If you're looking for it, it should be something like

$count = 0;
