Arrays have a pointer that steps through the array as you 'use' it.
Once you reach the end you'll have to reset that pointer before you can
step through the array again.  See the manual section on arrays for ways
to do this.

Re: [PHP] array empty after use

when you loop through a mysql result set you move the pointer up one place.
you need to use the mysql_data_seek($results, 0); to reset the pointer

Hi
You just need to reset the array pointer with reset($array_name)
