Okay, haven't tested this but it should work.
I would let mysql do some of the work here. In your select add something
like
Something like
$result = mysql_query('select ucase(left(name,1)) as foo, name from userlist
order by name');
$lastletter = '';
while ($data = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$curletter = ($data['foo']);
if ($curletter != $lastletter) {
echo("<br>" . $curletter . "<br>");
}
echo($data['name'] . "<br>");
$lastletter = $curletter;
}
As I say, I haven't tested this but it should work. Unless I stink... which
I often do.
