what are you trying to do with this statement?: while ($info = mysql_fetch_row($max)) { -----Original Message----- From: Alex Behrens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 4:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: help sorting by a column name Hey Guys, I need to reorganize the list of reviews on my site so they are displayed by category. However, I want it to display all the reviews from all categories at once. How do I do this? Here is my syntax now for display all reviews at once, but not sorted by category: <?php $db = mysql_connect( "db32.pair.com", "**********", "********"); mysql_select_db( "net3dual_reviews",$db); $r = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM hwureviews ORDER BY num DESC"); $max = mysql_query("select max(num) from hwureviews",$db); while ($info = mysql_fetch_row($max)) { printf ("<b><font color='#ffffff'>Hardware Reviews - %s Articles Total</b></font><br>", $info["0"]); } while($a=mysql_fetch_array($r)) { printf ("- <a href=\"%s\">%s</a> (Written by: <a href=\"mailto:%s\">%s</a>) - [<a href='%s' onMouseOver='if (window.event || document.layers) show(\"%s\",event)' onMouseOut='hide(\"%s\")'>Description</a>]<br>",$a["url"],$a["name"],$a["ema il"],$a["author"],$a["url"],$a["name"],$a["name"]); } ?> I want it so it displays them like this: Processors - Reviews listed here Motherboards Reviews listed here the categories are stored under the column name "category", for reference.
