try following logic

if($a%4==0)
{
?>
<div class="result"><p>
<?
$results .=''.$result.'';
?>
</p></div>
<?
}

This is what you should do:

//set counter
$a = 0;

while(){

//check if counter is at start (0)
if($a == 0){$results .= '<div class="result"><p>';}//Display at start of a block of 4 results

$a++;
$results .=''.$result.'';

if($a == 4){
//reset counter so it is as start again
$ = 0;
$results .= '</p></div>';
}//Display after 4 results

}

You need to count to 4 and then set it to 0 so that the code knows what the start is and what the end is.
