The function returns the results both in associatively-indexed elements and in indexed ones, so you get each one twice. Try the following and it should become clearer: $result = mysql_query($sql, $dbh); // Try both of the following lines and notice the difference. //$day = mysql_fetch_array($result); $day = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC); foreach ($day as $colname => $value) { echo "Column name: $colname; Value: $value\n"; } Cheers! -- Torben Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.thebuttlesschaps.com http://www.hybrid17.com http://www.inflatableeye.com +1.604.709.0506 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
