Oh I see now... The $count increases with each iteration ($count++) and then there is the conditional statement that inserts the Break.
Next the $count resets so as to be able to loop again.
Awesome! Thanks Jason.
We could also use zero as the initial starting point:
<?php $count = 0; ?>
<?php
while(!$Recordset1->atEnd()) {
?>
<a href="uploadedImg/<?php echo($Recordset1->getColumnVal("newsImage")); ?>"><img src="uploadedImg/thumb_<?php echo($Recordset1->getColumnVal("newsImage")); ?>" alt="<?php echo($Recordset1->getColumnVal("newsAlt")); ?>"/></a>
<?php
$count++;
if($count == 3) {
echo("End <br />");
$count = 0;
}
?>
