The php below illustrates how to print database results from
mySQL in PHP. Apologies for the long post.

You should be able to extrapolate from here - ie this is
generic, you will want to keep track of the usernames and
only print them when they change. Dont forget to print the
last one if you do this. (Jackson Structured Programming
fans - all together now...)

Sorry, the query works fine, but how do I print it out to the browser so
that
it looks like:

John
Dates go here

Bob
Dates go here

Gill
Dates go here

I hope that's clear,

Thanks,

Jord
