Without going too deep into your code, I think I see (parts of) your
problem.
In a nearly similar case, I used this code to deal with the problem.
// This example is putting the data from a table into a 2-dimentional
array:
// When using mysql_data_seek() you have all the selections from the
query in an array, an you can point to which row you want at any time.
// Remember: the rowpointer "row_num" starts at 0 and runs to "max_rows" -
1.
$query = "SELECT *.
$max_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$row_num = 0;
$ix = 0;
while ($row_num <= $max_rows-1) {
mysql_data_seek($result,$row_num);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$ix++;
$array[$ix] [1]= $row[1];
$array[$ix] [2]= $row[2];
$array[$ix] [3]= $row[3];
$row_num++;
}
Hopes this helps a bit.
