Sorry. Take that back. Just saw the original post.
The problem is that you're doing the <td> stuff AFTER deciding whether you
want to change rows or not. Imagine going through the list below when you're
on $photocount=2, which is really the third picture.
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$smallpic = $row['smallpic'];
if (($photocount % 3) == 2) {
echo "</tr>\n<tr>\n";
}
echo "<td>$smallpic</td>\n";
$photocount++;
}
See what happens? You end the current table row, and THEN print out the
third table cell, which really ends up on the next row.
Just move that echo statement about your if statement (leave the
auto-increment where it is), and you should be fine.
