Ahh. 'it doesn't work.'
As in: it returns a error ? or doesn't display you what you want ?

And the tables are related how ? Shouldn't there be a WHERE a.id=b.id
somewhere in there ?
Also a good practice is:
$debug=1;
$qry="select ... from ... where ...";
print "\ndebug: $qry \n" if $debug;
$sth->prepare($qry);
Then cut-n-paste the debug output into the mysql client to make sure of the
results.

Does show_thumb() make another db query while you are looping on this
result-set ? Or did you mean show_thumb($thumb) ?

Check your quoter, where did $csz come from ?
