Php / Mysql select issue

[Prank]

Hi Guys,

I have a table with 5 records in it, when I select the records (even just using SELECT * FROM cars) it will sometimes retrieve 3 records and sometimes 4, never the whole amount. I have never seen this happen before. If I run the query in phpmyadmin it returns all records. I dont understand how this could happen, the Statement could not be more simple.

Anyone know why this could be happening?

please post the code that you are using to retrieve and display the information.

Its happening in several places, each with re-written code.

The code couldnt be more simple.

Heres one example;
[code]
        $q = "SELECT * FROM cars";
$qr = mysql_query($q) or die(mysql_error());
$r = mysql_fetch_assoc($qr);

echo '<strong>Select a link category</strong><br />';

while($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($qr)){

echo '<a href="links.php?do=listlinks&cat='.$r['name'].'">'.$r['name'].'</a><br />';

} // while[/code]

Thanks.

[code]<?php
        $q = "SELECT * FROM cars";
$qr = mysql_query($q) or die(mysql_error());
$r = mysql_fetch_assoc($qr); // <- You already get one row here

echo '<strong>Select a link category</strong><br />';

while($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($qr)){
        // and ofcourse overhere total loops will be minus one of total rows
echo '<a href="links.php?do=listlinks&cat='.$r['name'].'">'.$r['name'].'</a><br />';

} // while
?>[/code]

howcome you do a mysql_fetch_assoc, and then do a loop with it again? when you do it the first time, it increments the internal pointer, so that when you start your loop, it starts on the next position, so you're missing out on echoing the first row.

Ahh crap, I didnt even pick up on that.

Thanks heaps.
