weird mysql problem

[MDanz]

the top code works and the bottom doesn't.  I'm sure their identical.. can any one spot the problem.  The top echo's $sumz... the bottom comes up blank.

 

 

<?php


     mysql_connect("localhost", "Master", "pword");
mysql_select_db("db");
   $column= mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Reply WHERE origin=5 ORDER by posted DESC")or die (mysql_error());



  
    while($row3 = mysql_fetch_assoc($column))
  {
  $avatar = htmlentities($row3['avatar']);
  $usern = htmlentities($row3['username']);

		  $sumz = htmlentities($row3['reply']);
  }
  
  echo $sumz;
  
?>

 

<?php



	  mysql_connect("localhost", "Master", "pword");
mysql_select_db("db");
   $run = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Reply WHERE origin=5 ORDER by posted DESC")or die (mysql_error());
   
              while($runrows = mysql_fetch_assoc($run));
                 {
                         $usern = htmlentities($runrows['username']);
		$sumz = htmlentities($runrows['reply']);
		 $imagelocation = htmlentities($runrows['image']);

}
echo $sumz;

?>

There is a semicolon at the end of your while statement in sample 2.
