You may also want to look into the heredoc string literals. It may or may not help you with some of these longer "echo" commands. http://www.tizag.com/phpT/strings.php has a good explanation, and of course the bible is at http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.heredoc.

Since the keys in an enumerated array are numbers, those are the variable names. I believe you will have an easier time if you do the following: while ($row=mysqli_fetch_array($data)) { $building = $row[0]; $parking_lot = $row[1]; $month = $row[2]; $day = $row[3]; $occupancy = $row[4]; $empty_spaces = $row[5]; $special_days = $row[6]; echo "<tr>\n <td>$building</td>\n <td>$parking_lot</td>\n <td>$month</td>\n <td>$day</td>\n <td>$occupancy</td>\n <td>$empty_spaces</td>\n <td>$special_days</td>\n </tr>\n"; echo "<tr><td colspan='7'><hr /></td></tr>\n"; } Now it is important in the order with which the fields are returned from the database since that will affect the row values when you are assigning them to variables (ie- if the day is returned first in the array it should be " $day = $row[0]" ) Hope that helps Thanks patrick Sent from: Decatur Ga United States.
