hey, thanks for the prompt reply. $j is nothing, i was testing before
hand.
In the for loop i changed from:
for ($i = 0;$i< 5; $i++) {
to
for ($i = 0;$i< $number_of_total_rows; $i++) {
the code works, but the products still go across the page for eternity,
rather than cutting off after 5 products, then going to the next row if
that makes any sense.
any ideas?
