Side by side multilevel MultiCells in FPDF

I am in the process of converting 2 Cells into MultiCells for the purpose of text wrapping within FPDF. I have followed a post on here which I found very useful to get the 2 MultiCells side by side. The problem I have is that the MultiCell is within a foreach statement and it overlaps the next MultiCell if the previous MultiCell has multiple lines. I have tried a couple of options so far including adding onto the height of the MultiCell but I need them to have appropriate height for the content within them.

Then I though well I need to work out the height of each MultiCell and add that too GetY. I found the code for GetMultiCellHeight() but when trying to use this I remembered that this adds to the position of the current MultiCell and not the position of the NEXT MultiCell. And this is where I got stuck!

This is the code I have so far:

foreach($final as $row){

// Only loop over the legal fee
if($row['fee_scale_category_id'] == 3){

    $amount_total += $row['amount'];
    $vat_total += $row['vat'];
    $total_total += ($row['amount'] + $row['vat']);
    $fee_amount = $row['amount'];



    $pdf->SetX(10);
    $pdf->SetFont('Arial','',9);

    $x = $pdf->GetX();
    $y = $pdf->GetY();

    $multiCellHeight = $pdf->GetMultiCellHeight(80,6,$row['fee_scale_item'].':',0,"L"); 

    if ($multiCellHeight > 6) {

        $pdf->SetXY($x, $y + $multiCellHeight);

    } else {

        $pdf->SetXY($x, $y);

    }

    $pdf->MultiCell(80,6,$row['fee_scale_item'].':',0,"L");

    if ($multiCellHeight > 6) {

        $pdf->SetXY($x+ 80, $y + $multiCellHeight);

    } else {

        $pdf->SetXY($x + 80, $y);

    }

    $pdf->MultiCell(20,6,substr('£', 1, 1).round_me($row['amount'] + $row['vat']),0,"R");

}

}

Any help on how I can pass the height of the current MultiCell for use with the next MultiCell would be greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards,

Looks like the script Table with MultiCells on fpdf.org is exactly what I need. Thanks Oliver!
