I am trying to loop through the results of two queries to create a table showing available ticket prices for a group of events. The results of the queries are returning the expected results, but each ticket price is repeated under the event heading multiple times. If there are three events on the page, there will be three rows of each price, If there are four events, there are four rows of the prices. In every other respect the query works as desired. What am I doing wrong. Note that there are nested "while" loops. as an example, the resulting page I want looks like this: PROGRAM Event A / Venue / Date Ticket price A1 Ticket price A2 Event B / Venue / Date Ticket Price B1 Ticket Price B2 Ticket Price B3 Event C Ticket Price C1 Ticket Price C2 Ticket Price C3 But the resulting page that I'm seeing looks like this: PROGRAM Event A / Venue / Date Ticket price A1 Ticket price A1 Ticket price A1
    Ticket price A2
    Ticket price A2
    Ticket price A2
Event B / Venue / Date Ticket Price B1 Ticket Price B1 Ticket Price B1 Ticket Price B2 Ticket Price B2 Ticket Price B2
    Ticket Price B3
    Ticket Price B3
    Ticket Price B3
Event C Ticket Price C1 Ticket Price C1 Ticket Price C1
    Ticket Price C2
    Ticket Price C2
    Ticket Price C2
// Get a connection to the database $cxn = @ConnectToDb($dbServer, $dbUser, $dbPass, $dbName); // select the events in this program (events have subevents) // in most cases there are two types of events - encounters and concerts // encounters and concerts are sub events $resultListA = mysql_query("select * from events inner join subEvents on events.groupName = subEvents.seGroup where events.groupName='$groupBlock' ");
		    $rowA = mysql_fetch_array($resultListA);
?> <h1><?php echo $rowA["groupDesc"]; ?></h1> <table> <?php
     // we loop through the sub events and make a row with the subevent information
mysql_data_seek($resultListA,0); while ($rowA = mysql_fetch_array($resultListA))
			    { $Event = $rowA["seSKU"];
			      ?>
<tr><td>
				    <?php echo $rowA["seDesc"]; ?><br />
				    <?php echo $rowA["seVenue"]; ?><br />
				    <?php echo date ("l, F j, Y", mktime ( 0, 0, 0, substr($rowA["seDate"], 5,2), substr($rowA["seDate"], 8,2), substr($rowA["seDate"], 0,4))); ?><br />
</td></tr> <?php
     // we loop through the tickets availale for each subevent
     // and make a row for each ticket price under the appropriate sub event
$resultList = mysql_query("select * from subEvents inner join tickets
								                     on subEvents.seGroup = '$groupBlock'
								                     where tickets.itemSubGroup = '$Event'
							                	");
							                	
		                  $row = mysql_fetch_array($resultList);
 			           mysql_data_seek($resultList,0);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($resultList))
		    			{
		    			?>
		    			   <tr><td>
<?php echo $row["itemName"]; ?> <?php echo $row["itemSubGroup"]; ?> <a href="orderCart.php?action=add_item&id=<?php echo $row["itemId"]; ?>&qty=1"><?php echo $row["itemName"]; ?> | $<?php echo $row["itemPrice"]; ?></a> </td></tr>
		     <?php
		     }
} ?> </table>
the queries are extracting the right data from the tables. -- mark hurty | mark@hurty.com | 309.764.0911
