Well, the for loop is now working but its not displaying what I want. I am pulling data from a DB and for every new <td> I would like to get the next result and if it reaches more then 2 columns, to start a new row. This I am not initally having a problem with. That is the looping. The problem I am running into, is getting the the DB stuff to show. Right now, I only one record and it shows for every single one. Here is a snippet of the code.
$result = mssql_query("SELECT * FROM files WHERE file_id = '$cat_name' ORDER BY file_name ASC"); $i = $col_num; $j = 0; $filename= mssql_result($result,0,"file_name"); $fileID = mssql_result($result,0,"file_id"); for ($k = 0; $k < mssql_num_rows($result); $k++) { //changes row color if (fmod($k, 2)){$rowColor = "$oddcolor";}else{$rowColor = "$evencolor";} echo ("<TR bgcolor=$rowColor>"); for ($j = 0; $j < $i; $j++) { echo ("<td><a href=index.php&ID=$fileID_id>$filename</a>". "Name: <strong>$getimage_name</strong>". "<a href='index.php&ID=$fileID">Delete</a></td>"); } echo ("</TR>"); } Anyone see what I need to do to make it loop through and pull out the next file name. I thought about a foreach but it never wanted to work with the above. thanks "Matt Matijevich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > your syntax is correct, just need to change for ($j=0: $j < 5; $j++) to > for ($j=0; $j < 5; $j++) > > >>> "Micah Montoy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 07/09/03 12:56PM >>> > Anyone ever do a nested for loop? > > $i =0; > $j =0; > for ($x=0; $x < 50; $x++){ > echo ("1 to 50"); > > for ($j=0: $j < 5; $j++) { > echo ("less than 5"); > } > } > > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
