Thanks for the advice
So reflecting what advice I have received to date:
Assuming that the Contact table would be used for:
Owners, Breeders, Sportsmen, Ancestors, Associations, and a myriad of
other categories of mankind, would the following normalization be
prudent?
Advertising
ContactID
FirstN,MidN,LastN,Suffix,Cityid,Stateid,Zip_Code_pk,Addr1,Addr2,Other

$table_name = "Chart_Users";
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $table_name order by album_title";
$result = @mysql_query($sql,$connection) or die(" Couldn't execute
query.");
//if(! $result = mysql_query($sql,$connection)) {
// print("ERROR ".mysql_errno().":
".mysql_error()."<br>\n$sql<br>\n");
// }
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row['id'];
$username = $row['username'];
$title1 = $row['album_title'];
$title = stripslashes($title1);
$sql1 = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Chart_Files where id = '$id'";
$result1 = @mysql_query($sql1,$connection) or die(" Couldn't execute
query.");
//if(! $result = mysql_query($sql1,$connection)) {
//print("ERROR ".mysql_errno().":
".mysql_error()."<br>\n$sql<br>\n");
//}
$count = mysql_result($result1,0,"count(*)");
$sql2 = "SELECT date_format(date, '%b. %D, %Y') as date1 FROM
Chart_Files where id = '$id' order by photoid desc limit 1";
$result2 = @mysql_query($sql2,$connection) or die(" Couldn't execute
query.");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result2);
$date1 = $row['date1'];
if ($count > 0) {
$display_block .= "<tr><td nowrap align=\"left\"><b><a

}
}
The first thing I see, do you need all of the fields in your "SELECT *"
statement?

Hi Jeff,
the most important rule you should follow: don't query the database
in a loop to avoid a join! The following lines (maybe some changes
are necesary) will do the same job as your code, but considerable
faster.
Especially if 'id' is an index in both tables.

Fantastic! I'm going to have to study the code more to really understand
it. Thanks for the help. I had to change the code just a little for it
to work:
$sql = "SELECT u.id, u.username, u.album_title,
date_format(MAX(f.date), '%b %D, %Y') as date1,
COUNT(*) AS cnt FROM Chart_Users AS u
INNER JOIN Chart_Files AS f USING (id)
GROUP BY f.id ORDER BY u.album_title ASC";
$result = @mysql_query($sql,$connection)
or die(" Couldn't execute query.");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row['id'];
$username = $row['username'];
$title1 = $row['album_title'];
$title = stripslashes($title1);
$date1 = $row['date1'];
$cnt = $row['cnt'];
$display_block .= "<tr><td nowrap align=\"left\">
<b><a href=\"display_album.php?id=$id\">$title </a></b></td>
<td align=\"left\">$cnt</td><td align=\"right\"
nowrap>$date1</td></tr>";

Thanks for the advice
