hey-

ok, so I've worked on my problem a bit, and here's what I came up, and note
this is the whole page.


<?php

include("/home/fplg/lib/functions.php");
include("/home/fplg/db/db_config.php");

$conn = db_connect("fplg");

$bandquery = "SELECT linkid,title FROM links WHERE cat='band'";
$sitequery = "SELECT linkid,title FROM links WHERE cat='site'";
$miscquery = "SELECT linkid,title FROM links WHERE cat='misc'";

$bandresult = mysql_query($bandquery,$conn);
$siteresult = mysql_query($sitequery,$conn);
$miscresult = mysql_query($miscquery,$conn);

header_start("FPLG:Links");
?>

<table width="692" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr align="center">
  <td width="230" bgcolor="#ff6600" align="center">
   <font face="verdana,arial" size="2" color="#ffffff">Bands</font>
  </td>
  <td width="230" bgcolor="#ff6600" align="center">
   <font face="verdana,arial" size="2" color="#ffffff">Sites</font>
  </td>
  <td width="230" bgcolor="#ff6600" align="center">
   <font face="verdana,arial" size="2" color="#ffffff">Other</font>
  </td>
 </tr>
 <tr align="center">
  <td width="230" bgcolor="#a9a9a9" align="center">
  <?php
  while($band_data = mysql_fetch_array($bandresult));
  {
  ?>
       <a href="/jump.php?linkid=<?php echo $band_data["linkid"];?>"
class="hov1" target="_new"><font size="2" face="verdana,arial"
color="WHITE"><?php echo $band_data["title"];?></font></a>
       <br><br>
  <?php
  }
  ?>
  </td>
  <td width="230" bgcolor="#a9a9a9" align="center">
  <?php
  while($site_data = mysql_fetch_array($siteresult));
  {
  ?>
       <a href=/jump.php?linkid=<?php echo $site_data["linkid"];?>"
class="hov1" target="_new"><font size="2" face="verdana,arial"
color="WHITE"><?php echo $site_data["title"];?></font></a>
       <br><br>
  <?php
  }
  ?>
  </td>
  <td width="230" bgcolor="#a9a9a9" align="center">
  <?php
  while($misc_data = mysql_fetch_array($miscresult));
  {
  ?>
       <a href="/jump.php?linkid=<?php echo $misc_data["linkid"];?>"
class="hov1" target="_new"><font   size="2" face="verdana,arial"
color="WHITE"><?php echo $misc_data["title"];?></font></a>
       <br><br>
  <?php
  }
  ?>
  </td>
  <td width="230" bgcolor="#a9a9a9" align="center">
 </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

this is supposed to display link information from my db in three columns,
one for bands, one for sites, and one for misc. only problem is that it's
not displaying correctly, as you can see: www.fplg.net/links.php

any ideas on what the problem is?
