I hate to think what sort of a burden this would place on ther server, but...
You could always find out how many rows there are, then run individual queries for each cell of the table. In other words, to achieve this layout: 1 4 7 2 5 8 3 6 9 You would do queries in this order: 1 4 7 2 5 8 3 6 9 Like I said, I shudder at the thought of how much this would load the server (especially on large rows (lots of fields) or large tables (lots of rows = lots of queries)), but if the layout is imperative, then maybe this is an option... I can't see why you can't run it as 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Cheers, Justin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
