Hi there, So I have data which I am fetching from two tables link in a one-to-many relationship using the following code: sql = "select authcourses.id as id, title, date_format(closingdate, '%d.%m.%y') as date, name from authcourses inner join authorities on authorityid = authorities.id order by authorityid"; $result = mysqli_query($link, $sql); if(!$result) { $error = 'Unable to get list of authorities'; include '../../error.html.php'; exit(); } while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) { $authcourses[] = array('name' => $row['name'], 'title' => $row ['title'], 'date' => $row['date'], 'id' => $row['id']); } I then output the data in a table like this: <table> <thead><th>Title</th><th>Closing Date</th><th>Action</th></thead> <tbody> <?php foreach ($authcourses as $authcourse): ?> <tr> <form action="?" method="post"> <tr> <td><?php htmlout($authcourse['name']); ?></td> <!-- custom function htmlout($text) see helpers.inc.php --> <td><?php htmlout($authcourse['title']); ?></td> <td><?php htmlout($authcourse['date']); ?></td> <td> <input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo $authcourse['id']; ?>" /> <input type="submit" name="action" value="Edit" /> <input type="submit" name="action" value="Delete" /> </td> </tr> </form> <?php endforeach; ?> </tbody> </table> The htmlout() is a custom function which is basically "echo htmlspecialchars($str)", and you can ignore the form stuff. I get an out put like this: York, Course 1, 2011-02-15 York, Course 2, 2011-03-01 Manchester, Course 3, 2011-06-17 Manchester, Course 4, 2011-08-12 Derby, Course 5, 2011-01-10 Barnet, Course 6, 2011-08-19 Barnet, Course 7, 2011-06-23 etc etc... What I want is something like this: York: Course 1, date Course 2, date Manchester: Course 3, date Course 4, date Derby: Course 5, date Barnet: Course 6, date Course 7, date etc.. I guess I'd like to load an array for each of the authorities (cities) with the course info, then I can output it in my form like this: <?php foreach ($authcourses as $authcourse): ?> <h1><?php htmlout($authcourse['name'] ?>: </h1> <?php foreach ($courses as $course): ?> <p><?php htmlout($course['title'];?><p> <p><?php htmlout($course['date'];?></p> <?php endforeach; ?> <?php endforeach; ?> I hope that makes sense... Any help would be great. Cheers, Mike
