Line 13 is re-assigning $result, the save variable you're using in line 1!

It's a simple while loop, but it's not acting the way (I think) it should. If I break down the while loop, it reads: -------------------------------------------- // $result contains 3 rows while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo " xxx "; } -------------------------------------------- => xxx xxx xxx is displayed (as expected) If I add the following code to the loop, it only seems to iterate through it *once*: -------------------------------------------- while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $pri = $row['pri']; $fg = $row['fg']; $molw = $row['molw']; $density = $row['density']; $denstype = $row['denstype']; $pctd = $row['pctd']; $maxpctd = $row['maxpctd']; $compid = $row['compid']; $sql = "select * from compounds where compid = \"$compid\""; $result = mysql_query($sql,$conn); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); $compname = $row['compname']; $concentration = $row['concentration']; $concunit = $row['concunit']; $type = $row['type']; $composition = $row['composition']; if ($fg=="Y") $html .= "<b>$concentration $concunit $compname</b><br>"; else if ($pri=="Y") $html .= "<font color=\"#000066\"> $concentration $concunit $compname</font><br>"; else $html .= " $concentration $concunit $compname<br>"; } -------------------------------------------- Expected results: -------------------------------------------- Actin #2543: Description here. 1 mol AEBSF 1.3 mol Calcium Chloride 1.4 mol Potassium Chloride -------------------------------------------- Actual results: -------------------------------------------- Actin #2543: Description here. 1 mol AEBSF -------------------------------------------- i.e the last two compounds are not displayed. I can't for the life of me see the problem. A new set of eyes looking at this would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks very much in advance. - Best regards, Lee -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
