first record not displayed

Hi, I have the feeling I'm missing something very obvious here, but it's driving me nuts! Using this select statement: $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM latlong ",$link); $nrows = mysql_num_rows($result); and either of these to display the results: for ($j=0; $rec=mysql_fetch_array($result); $j++){ print "j=$j id={$rec["id"]} seq={$rec["seq"]}\n"; } while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo "id={$row["id"]} seq={$row["seq"]} \n"; } The very first record gets dropped/not displayed. The number of records returned ($nrows) matches what I get from MySQL and the first record gets displayed (using PHPMyAdmin). Even if I change the select to pull only certain records, the very first one does not get displayed. Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Thanks!
