Asmodean - using comma is another way of using echo...
Wee - try this instead - you're putting two loops together when you don't
need to
for($count=1; $count<=$rows; $count++)
{
$query_data = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$price = $query_data["price_lq"];
$RowColor = useColor();
// current echo statements here
}
or
$count=1;
while($query_data = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$price = $query_data["price_lq"];
$RowColor = useColor();
// current echo statements here
}
$count++;

echo "<TD width=\"15%\" valign=\"top\"><input type=\"checkbox\"
name=\"choice",$count,"\" value=\"",
$query_data["prod_id"],"\"></TD>\n</TR>";
Your problem is with this line. Look closely at the following part:
name=\"choice",$count,"\"
You should do this:
name=\"choice" . $count . "\"
... and it will generate names like 'choice1', 'choice2', and so on.
