I am pulling information from a MySQL database one row at a time, then
while looping through the table i am running a script that creates a
pdf, on each row based on there info.
I loop through the first row and it works just fine, it gets to the
second record and bails halfway through.
this is the error
<code>

I am not sure why its causing this error, any help would be great, here
is the loop I am using minus the pdf code its too long.
