Make a table go to the next row when the MYSQL result is every 8

Quite hard to explain.

On the picture you see that I have the table, and I need to make it so on the 8th result it puts it down to a new row.

<table align='left' width='100' height='130' border='1'>
  <tr>
<?php


   $account = $_SESSION['SESS_FIRST_NAME'];


$username = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM accounts where username = '$account'")
or die(mysql_error());

while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $username )) {
	$id = $row['id'];

	
	}

// Get all the data from the "example" table
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM characters  ORDER by active DESC")
or die(mysql_error());


// keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
	// Print out the contents of each row into a table
	$skin = $row['skin'];
	$name = $row['charactername'];
	$cash = $row['money'];	
	$lastarea = $row['lastarea'];	
					$name2 = str_replace("_", " ", $name);
	$bankmoney = $row['bankmoney'];
	$characterid = $row['id'];	

	$totalmoney = $cash +$bankmoney;
	$cked = $row['cked'];	
	$active = $row['active'];
	$cked2 = str_replace("0", "<font color=\\"#009900\\">Alive</font>", $cked);
	$cked3 = str_replace("1", "<font color=\\"#CC0000\\">Dead</font>", $cked2);
	$cked4 = str_replace("2", "<font color=\\"#CC0000\\">Dead</font>", $cked3);
	
	$deactivated = "<font color=\\"#CC0000\\">Deactivated</font>";
	


	echo "

    <td height='56' colspan='2'><center><a href=\\"./characters.php?id=$characterid\\">"; if($active == 1){ echo "<img  border=\\"0\\" width='85' height='78' src=\\"./img/skins/$skin.png\\">"; } else { echo "<img style='opacity:0.2;' border=\\"0\\" width='85' height='78' src=\\"./img/skins/$skin.png\\">"; } echo "</a><br /><b><font  size='2' color='#555'>$name2</font></b><br /><font size='1'><i>"; if($active == 1){ echo " $cked4"; } else { echo $deactivated; } echo " </i></font></center></td>
";

}


?>  </tr>

Set up a variable called say $count which would be set as 0 before the loop starts, each iteration 1 would be added to the count. With in if block you would check to see if $count is equal to 8, if it is the current row would be “closed” and a new row started, plus $count would be reset.
