Not a nested array, a simple 'if' statement...
Something like:
$Info = mysql_query("SELECT .....
$oldCat = "";
while ($SRecord = mysql_fetch_array($Info, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
If $oldCat != $SRecord["ProdCategory"]
{
/* Print your special Header row */
echo "<TR><TD>Category = $Category </TD></TR>";
}
/* now all you need is $Model - $Description - $Price */
$Model = htmlspecialchars($SRecord["ItemModel"]);
$Description = htmlspecialchars($SRecord["ItemDescription"]);
$Price = htmlspecialchars($SRecord["ItemPrice"]);
?>
<tr>
<td><font face="Arial" size="-1"><? echo("$Model"); ?></font></td>
<td><font face="Arial" size="-1"><? echo("$Description"); ?></font></td>
<td><font face="Arial" size="-1"><? echo("$Price"); ?></font></td>
<?
}
?>
Good Luck,
Frank
