Got it, After thousands of searches on the web(ofcourse Google) i found the answer, here's the working code for any newbies out there, thanks!



<div align="center">
<?php
require_once ('system/config/config.php');

$connect = mysql_connect(DB_HOSTNAME,DB_USERNAME,DB_PASSWORD) or die ("check your server connection.");
mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE);
$quey1="select * from category";
$result=mysql_query($quey1) or die(mysql_error());

?>


<table border="1" width="600">
<caption><EM>Select a Category</EM></caption>
<?php
$records = array();
for ($i = 1; $record = mysql_fetch_array($result); $i++)
$records[$i] = $record;
?>
<?php foreach (array_chunk($records, 4) as $row) { ?>
<tr>
<?php foreach ($row as $value) { ?>
<td height="150" align="center"><?php $catid=$value['category_id'];?><img src="<?php echo $value['category_image']; ?>" /><br /><a href="http://localhost/GoDeli/model/bo/select.php?catid=<?php echo $catid ?>"><?php echo $value['category_name']; ?></a></td>
<?php } ?>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
</table>

</div>
