Query qizzle quackarooney! :|

Hey there fellow querieres.... I summon your power! (eh..) well.. enough with the nonsense :) I have a littlebit of problem: I am displaying 15 different newsarticles on a page. The articles are displayed in three different tables. First there`s one article (the main-top-story) that is shown in the top of the page. Then there is an ad. And then. Below this ad, there are two columns, each displaying 7 articles each. To avoid running multiple queries I do a $i = 0, and a $i++ before I end the while statement... ($i increments for each time the while loops) The articles can be divided into two distinct groups. smallnews, and news, and this is stored in the article table in a field named Kategory! Here is the thingy: I can`t have any smallnews desplaying their ugly faces in the first four while loops... That is: smallnes cannot be shown before 4 "real" newsarticles has been displayed. How do I go about this without having to write a huge bunch of if/elses (I`m not sure if that would even work). ==== some notes below to give you an idea of how I am thinking ==== while (.........) { if (($i < 4) && ($kategory == "smallnews")) { $i == $i continue ; } // Go around another time..... if (($i == 0) && ($kategory == "newsarticle")) { echo "<tr><td> etc etc..." ; } // End writing if it is the first article Just some scribling here.... if ($kategory == "smallnews") continue ; } } What do YOU think? -Trond
