erme Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I'm trying to write the html header from a field called County. The below works, however it displays County for how many records there are with that county. How would I change it so it only displays it once? At a guess, I would say mysql_fetch_array is wrong?? $pagetitle = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $Table"); while($r = mysql_fetch_array($pagetitle)) { echo "<h2>" . $r['County'] . "</h2>\n"; } Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/169211-solved-display-record-once/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
