Awh *smacks self in head* I'm so stupid. Inside the loop process I perform another query and I was stupid enough to use the name $query for that query as well so it ended up screwing over the loop. Thanks a lot for your help, it's all fixed now :).

That makes sense, however when I use it in the loop for my process it only works for ID 1 and 4 :S. The process looks like: while( $r = mysql_fetch_array($query) ) {   ... (the process) } and if I echo out the IDs each time the loop runs through it only comes up with 1 and 4 :S. If I just do: while( $r = mysql_fetch_array($query) ) {   echo $r['ID']. " "; } however, it echos out 1 2 3 4 5 like it should :S. Do you know why it might only echo out ID 1 and 4 during the process but echo out all 5 when it's just doing the echo? It makes no sense to me.

Hi, thanks for reading this :). I have a really weird problem in a script I'm writing and I can't think of what could possibly cause it. Here is the code I'm using: [code]$sql = "SELECT ID FROM ". $table. "_choices"; $query = mysql_query($sql) or die("A MySQL error occurred: ". mysql_error()); echo "mysql_num_rows - ". mysql_num_rows($query). "<br />"; echo "count mysql_fetch_array - ". count(mysql_fetch_array($query));[/code] I put the two echo's in to determine my problem. The problem is that the output text is: mysql_num_rows - 5 count mysql_fetch_array - 2 There SHOULD be 5 rows, but why would mysql_fetch_array() only return 2 even when mysql_num_rows told me there's 5. I'm 100% positive there are 5 rows in there, and I can't understand why mysql_fetch_array() wouldn't return them all :S. If anyone could help it would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks. Anyone have other alternatives? If not I guess I'll use globals.

Hi, I'm trying to set a variable which can be used throughout the script inside of a function, is that possible? (And I don't want to return things) Thanks :)
