How to split MySQL table records in half to display on each side of a page
$numRows=mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cultures"));
$half = $numRows/2;

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cultures ORDER BY name ASC LIMIT ".$half);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$url = "artists.php?culture=".ucfirst($row['name']);
echo '<div class="homepage_culture_item">
<a href="'.$url.'"></a>
<img src="/images/flags/'.$row['name'].'.png" style="width: 30px; vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 10px;" />'.$row['name'].'
</div>
<br />';
}

$half = floor($numRows/2);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cultures ORDER BY name ASC");
$half   = floor(mysql_num_rows($result)/2);
$count  = 0;

// First side.
while($count <= $half
      && $row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
    // ...
    $count++;
}

// ...

// Second side.
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
    // ...
}

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cultures ORDER BY name ASC");

$i = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    $i++
    if($i % 2){
        //echo right aligned div
        }
    else{
        //echo left aligned div
        }
