OK, I'll try that.

I'm getting them from a database. Two SELECT queries one get the open
tickets, one get the closed ones.
$noOpened=mysql_num_rows($jobresult1);
$noClosed=mysql_num_rows($jobresult2);
$getlargest = strcmp($noOpened, $noClosed);
switch ($getlargest) {
case $getlargest > 0:
$counttickets = $noOpened;
while($sumOpen=mysql_fetch_row($jobresult1)) {
$Open = $sumOpen;
// DEBUG
print $Open[0] . "<br>";
}
while($sumClosed=mysql_fetch_row($jobresult2)) {
$Closed = $sumClosed;
// DEBUG
print "c" . $Closed[0] . "<br>";
}
I'm going to manipulate both arrays, so I copy them to "backups"
DEBUG lines produce:
1
2
3
4
5
c1
c2
