I know no one in this list like to think we newbie's want the job done
for us, so I'm trying to figure out the below question myself, but trust
me when I say it's making me nuts... this is my best shot so far:
$query = "SELECT * FROM saav_arts ORDER BY artid";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
$num_cols = 2;
for ($x = 0; $x < $num_rows; $x++)
{
echo "<tr>";
for ($i = 0; $i < $num_cols; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo "<td align=\"center\">";
echo "<a href=\"details.php?artid=".$row[artid]."\"><img
src=\"".$CFG->artdir."/".$row[artsmall]."\"
ALT=\"".$row[artname]."\" BORDER=\"0\"></a>";
echo "</td>";
}
echo "</tr>";
}
The thing is that it shows up two columns as I want, but not the 4
images that I have in DB... it shows 2 rows of 2 images each and antoher
2 rows of 2 *NOT DIPLAYED* images which I don't have... like it was
looping again with nothing to fetch from the DB... What is this?
Jason: as I wrote this, your tip came over and as you can see I did
figure it out (almost melted my brain though)... now, do you know what
is going on?
Thanx, C.
