The home of script is contain code like this :
<div class="box">
<div id="movie"></div><div id="movie"></div><div id="movie"></div>
</div>
I've do a mysql query but i don't know how to echo just 3 record per div .
Im using this code for mysql query :
$query=mysql_query("select * from movies where id=$id");
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($query))

echo $row['name'];
}

Answer 1

You will need something like this I think
$query = mysql_query("select * from movies");
$result = array();
while($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
$result[$r['id']] = array($r['name'],$r['thumb']);
}
$i = 0;
foreach($result as $id => $data){
if($i == 0)
{
echo "<div class=\"box\">";
echo "<div id=\"movie\">";
echo "ID: $id";
echo "Name: $data[0]";
echo "Thumb: $data[1]";
echo "</div>";
$i = $i + 1;
}
elseif($i == 1)
{
echo "<div id=\"movie\">";
echo "ID: $id";
echo "Name: $data[0]";
echo "Thumb: $data[1]";
echo "</div>";
$i = $i + 1;
}
elseif($i == 2)
{
echo "<div id=\"movie\">";
echo "ID: $id";
echo "Name: $data[0]";
echo "Thumb: $data[1]";
echo "</div>";
echo "</div>";
$i = 0;
}
}

Multiple elements with the same id? Not a good idea.
You didn't say what you want to happen if you're query returns less then 3 rows.
You might try:
...
$x=0;
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($query) && ++$x<=3) {
echo $row['name'];
}
