Display mysql_fetch_assoc results in 2 columns WITH tags!!

Oh, please pity me! I'm a librarian, not a computer programmer! I've been searching for a solution to this for a week and I'm on the verge of tears. All I want to do is make the following code display in two columns: "; mysql_free_result($res); mysql_close($link); ?>

". $row["name"] . $row["url"] ."
What I have is a database with directory type information. What I want is one web page which displays only the "name" field as a hyperlink, which, when selected, takes the user to a separate web page containing the full directory information. Oh please end my misery! Thank you!

Try this for two columns, there may be a simpler way to do it but it's late over here Don't worry about mysql_close or mysql_free_result as there is no gain in using them for this short script. The mysql connection will close when the script is finished anyway.
