Hi, Look at the code below first:
<?php 2 3 include "include_fns.php"; 4 include "header_news.php"; 5 6 $conn = db_connect(); 7 8 $pages_sql = "select * from pages order by code"; 9 $pages_result = mysql_query($pages_sql, $conn); 10 11 while ($pages = mysql_fetch_array($pages_result)) { 12 13 $story_sql = "select * from stories 14 where page = '$pages[code]' 15 and published is not null 16 order by published desc"; 17 $story_result = mysql_query($story_sql, $conn); 18 if (mysql_num_rows($story_result)) { 19 $story = mysql_fetch_array($story_result); 20 print "<TABLE border=\"1\" width=685>"; 21 print "<TR>"; 22 print "<TD width=\"50%\">"; 23 print "<H3>$pages[description]</H3>"; 24 print $story[headline]; 25 print "</TD>"; 26 print "<TD ALIGN=RIGHT>"; 27 print " "; 28 print "</TD>"; 29 print "</TR>"; 30 print "</TABLE>"; 31 } 32 } 33 34 include "footer_news.php"; 35 ?> My problem is that I want to do the following: ========================================== | | ========================================= | | | ========================================== | | | ========================================= So I thought a neat trick would be to before line 22 the following: if ( $pages[code]="intro") print "<TD >"; else print "<TD width=\"50%\">"; The objective would be to have a whole row by like I describe above. The thing is I don't want to write the same routine just for that one row and by that I mean put in another mysql call to the database.
