Ken2k7 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Does this table have a unique ID field? Though you can already keep track of positioning in a while loop going through the entries.

ratcateme Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 you could do a query and output like this $result = mysql_query("SELECT Animal FROM animals") or die(mysql_error()); for($i = 1;$row = mysql_fetch_array($result)!=null;$i++){ echo $row['Animal'] . " is at " . $i; } this uses a for instead of a while so you don't need a ID key although i would recommend putting one in Scott.
