From the MYSQL Manual
Typial typical symptoms for a corrupt table is:
You get the error Incorrect key file for table: '...'. Try to repair it
while selecting data from the table.

You have a blank line before your ?php
Any output before a header or cookie is verboten.
Delete any blank space, or lines before your ?php and don't output anything

Return into an array, then loop through the array or shuffle it (easier)?.
Note if you have nulls in DB, you will have to do something different.

Probably something along the lines of small php code interfacing with a db

eg some silly code

}
This is more legible than
for ($x=1;$x100;$x++) {
while ($i50) {
print $i;
}
}
Indentation makes it easier to spot
Bear in mind that you don't want to be doing queries like that generally.
Use count(*) to get the number of rows - using mysql_num_rows is slower.
eg
$query=select count(*) from tablename where cat='band';
$result = mysql_query($query,$conn);
etc.

I don't think you can do this directly in mysql, but you could build an

I'm of the opinion you cannot do this totally in PHP.
You are going to need some client side, and some server side software -
server side can be php of course.
Client side ie (gps/wap device)- One possibility - write a wap browser that
interfaces with your gps device and returns co-ords in
how about
$location = addslashes($location);
$query = select shoodID from shoots where location = '$location';
or
