Re: Table display Driving me Crazy!

I figured out what was wrong...and yes, the db call was from phplib...I am making modifications to existing code and so haven't figured out all the inns and outs...what I did was just create an array from the object that was being called by the query and then addressed those array elements individually here is a sample: <? for ($l = 1; $l <= $numcols; ++$l) { if ($int_j <= $int_i){ ?> <td width="139" class="ModNo" bordercolor="#000000"><?php echo $array_sku[$int_j]; ?></td> <? } //endif $int_j++; } //endfor ...sorry if the code looks like crap but yahoo tends to truncate the width... thanks anyways!
