Take out the while statement-- i.e. simply use: $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
the way you have things constructed now, the while statement evaluates true on the first iteration and $row equals the result row from the query. Because the while returned true, it is evaluated a second time, returns false, and $row = NULL. -ib Kevin Schaaps wrote: > Greetings once again, > > Today I hope to have a challenge for you. :) > > I've created a query which returns 1 record.
