Okay here is the code. I want to run another SELECT * query within this while loop, which i thought could be done but i cant get it to work.

 

I want the query to select the comments from the comments table in the database that matches the id of the tutorial.

 

                     <?php
                           
                     $i = 0;   
                     
                     $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tutorials ORDER BY added ASC LIMIT 4") or die(mysql_error());
                     while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
                     
                     if($i==2) {      
                     echo '</tr><tr><td>';      
                     $i=0;  
                     }
                           
                     if ($row->category == 1) {
                     $row->category = 'Animation';
                     }
                     if ($row->category == 2) {
                     $row->category = 'Basics';
                     }
                     if ($row->category == 3) {
                     $row->category = 'Cloth';
                     }
                     if ($row->category == 4) {
                     $row->category = 'Compositing';
                     }
                     if ($row->category == 5) {
                     $row->category = 'Dynamics';
                     }
                     if ($row->category == 6) {
                     $row->category = 'Fluid';
                     }
                     if ($row->category == 7) {
                     $row->category = 'Game Engine';
                     }
                     if ($row->category ==  {
                     $row->category = 'General';
                     }
                     if ($row->category == 9) {
                     $row->category = 'Lighting';
                     }
                     if ($row->category == 10) {
                     $row->category = 'Modelling';
                     }
                     if ($row->category == 11) {
                     $row->category = 'Modifiers';
                     }
                     if ($row->category == 12) {
                     $row->category = 'Particles';
                     }
                     if ($row->category == 13) {
                     $row->category = 'Rendering';
                     }
                     if ($row->category == 14) {

why have it like that I don't know.

Usually... the while, would display the tutorials by title on one page.

Clicking on the tutorial title goes to viewtutorials.php?tutid=$tutid

So when on that page, it gets all the nessecary details where tutorial_id = $_GET['tudid']

 

Easier method I believe? Although you have categories.. I didn't quite use that.. so .. might be in the same way I guess, it'll display the tutorials by title where category is .. php for example.
