[SOLVED] Problem w/ MYSQL & PHP

Recommended Posts

I ran into a problem today trying to edit part of my site. Can't seem to figure out the solution but i think i know the problem.

 

The problem is the returned results are missing the first entry. So my assumption is the

 

$i = 0;

 

line ... because if i understand this correctly it is adding one after another, but its registering the line

 

echo'<h2 class="subh2">',$row[3],'</h2>';

 

<?php 
$query2 = "SELECT * FROM help WHERE topicid = '%s'";
$sprintf = sprintf($query2,mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['topicid']));
$sql2 = mysql_query($sprintf);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql2))
{
echo '<h2 class="subh2">',$row[3],'</h2>';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql2))
{
$i = 0;
echo <<< EOF
<div class="questions"><a id="moreinfo" onclick="javascript:show('info_{$i}');return false;" href="#">{$row['question']}</a>
</div><br />
<div id="info_{$i}" style="display: none" class="answers">{$row['answer']}
</div><br />
EOF;
$i++;

}
}
?>

 

So anyone know a quick fix to this? Thanks in advance

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql2)) // This line makes $row the first row
{
echo '<h2 class="subh2">',$row[3],'</h2>';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql2)) // This line loops through all the other rows. (starting from #2)
{
$i = 0;
echo <<< EOF *ommited* >>>
$i++;

}
}

 

This should fix it:

$i = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql2)) 
{
if($i==0){
	echo '<h2 class="subh2">' . $row[3] . '</h2>';
}
echo <<< EOF *ommited* >>>
$i++;
}
