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.
