Thanks for your help, I'll give that a go.

Hi All, First time posting here. I've googled the problem, but can't seem to find a response that's the same. All I want to do is have a list of id numbers and for each id number in the array, submit a MySQL query to retrieve information relating to the id number. When I execute the code below however, I end up with only the last item in the array being printed in the echo statement. Any clues? Thanks, // get array of ids $ids = getIDs($ids); // loop through input list foreach ($ids as &$id) { getVarDetails($id); } function getVarDetails($local) { $con = mysql_connect('localhost:3306', 'root', '********'); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } // set database as Ensembl mysql_select_db("Ensembl", $con); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM variations WHERE name = '$local' LIMIT 1"); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo $row['name'] . " " . $row['id']; echo "<br />"; } // close connection mysql_close($con); }
