putting db results in a 5 x 1 table

I have a db of tens of thousands of entries. It's not too hard to pull all the entries and build a table that displays them one at a time, but in my case, that will be a huge waste of space. What I want to do is put one record in each of the columns. I thinks it's possible to do because I have seen very elaborate thumbnail gallery scripts to do this. I just want to be able to put two or three strings of text from each record into each row, and a checkbox. Here's sample of what I mean:
<table width="76%" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
<td>$record1Line1<br>$record1$Line2<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="$record1checkbox" value="checkbox"></td>
<td>$record2Line1<br>$record2$Line2<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="$record2checkbox" value="checkbox"></td>
<td>$record3Line1<br>$record3$Line2<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="$record3checkbox" value="checkbox"></td>
<td>$record4Line1<br>$record4$Line2<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="$record3checkbox" value="checkbox"></td>
<td>$record5Line1<br>$record5$Line2<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="$record5checkbox" value="checkbox"></td>
</tr>
</table>I want to pull about 200 records at a time from the db and display as described above. How can I tell php to take five records from my result set and display above, then loop through the result set until I'm done?
Thanks much for any guidance you can offer.
