The above should NOT have a semi-colon at the end. Assuming that this is the problem I don't see how you can display the value of the NAME field as your query is invalid and should not return any results. If that's not the problem then ... > $resultboarditems = mysql_query ($query) or die("Invalid Result > Set"); > while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($resultboarditems)) { > ?> > <li><? echo $row["DATETIMEADDED"]; ?><? echo > $row["NAME"]; ?></li> do print_r($row); to see what it contains. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* It'll be just like Beggars' Canyon back home. -- Luke Skywalker */ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
