You're getting the data from your query outside of your loop. That needs to be part of your loop, otherwise, as you've seen, it just displays the first record. You could try something like this:
$cnt = 0; while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) { echo "<td>$row->file_name</td><td>$row->file_id</td>"; $cnt++; if ($cnt % 2) echo "</tr><tr>"; } HTH. -- Rob "Micah Montoy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Well, the for loop is now working but its not displaying what I want.
