My first thought would be - are you actually getting any result back from your mysql query? You might want to check (mysql_num_rows) that you are getting one or more records returned by your query. Also, if you are new to php/mysql, it might be that you are not using the correct method to get data from your query result. Perhaps if you were to include the code that querys and extracts the data?
