How to break a while loop?

Tags: php, various
Hello all,

I have a function written in php that has a purpose of returning a list of images from a database and displaying the results on a page. The problem I have is that all my results are output in a verticle list, this is because of the markup language I have coded into the function.

What I want to happen is to display the image results in rows of 4 at a time and not one after the other in a long verticle list.

Please find my code example is attached:

How do I interupt the loop and tell the code to break to a new line, so for example each time it gets to the 4th loop, break the markup code to a new line and display the next 4 images in a row... and so on...

I hope this makes sense. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks :)

function displayimages() {
 
		$image_result = mssql_query("
			SELECT image_name, image_sample 
			FROM images
			WHERE image_active = 1
			ORDER BY image_name");
		
				while ($image_row = mssql_fetch_assoc($image_result))
					{	
						print('
							<div id="image_results">
							<table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="image_table">
								<tr class="image_row">
									<td><b>Supplier Name: </b>' . $image_row['image_name'] . '</td>
								</tr>
								<tr class="image_row">
									<td>' . $image_row['image_sample'] . '</td>
								</tr>
							</table>
							</div>
						');
