I'm sure that this is a database design problem but as I have little
control over that how can I solve this problem ....?

The following code produces a link to a document ......
The link is made up like this
/reports/<year>/<phase>/<path>/<school>/<school>.<extension>

phase = primary
      secondary

path = path in database (eg ks1va)

School = School DFEE No

Extension = .pdf .doc.xls etc

So the problem is this. The database has a table called Report details.
This table has an entry thus ...

Report_ID   Group_ID    ReportName  Doc_Type_ID Doc_Path    Phases
8           6           abc         1           fndation    24
9           6           def         3           barchart    2

Using the code below all is cool and both reports show as links.

eg.
/reports/2003/primary/fndation/2000/2000/abc.pdf
/reports/2003/primary/barchart/2000/2000/def.pdf

However both links have the extension .pdf where the first should have .pdf
and the second .xls
I can see that the query looping is causing the problem but how can I fix
it .....?
