Hi everyone, Well, I've hit all the forums and tried it a few different ways, but I still can't get this code to work. At this point it just shows me an empty table with column headings. I am new and still experimenting, but can someone tell me what is wrong here? This is pretty much straight from a tutorial, with just a few mods for my purposes. Here's what it looks like online: http://www.enfieldrollerhockey.com/EDH/html/testing/alt_rows3.php <http://www.enfieldrollerhockey.com/EDH/html/testing/alt_rows3.php> and the code: <?php $db = mysql_connect("*************","********","*********") or die("Problem connecting"); mysql_select_db("hockeystats") or die("Problem selecting database"); $query = "SELECT * FROM mon_roll_de ORDER BY sid"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Query failed"); //let's get the number of rows in our result so we can use it in a for loop $numofrows = mysql_num_rows($result); ?> <?php echo "<TABLE BORDER=\"1\">\n"; echo "<TR bgcolor=\"lightblue\"><TD>sid</TD><TD>league</TD><TD>day</TD></TR>\n"; for($i = 0; $i < $numofrows; $i++) { $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); //get a row from our result set if($i % 2) { //this means if there is a remainder echo "<TR bgcolor=\"yellow\">\n"; } else { //if there isn't a remainder we will do the else echo "<TR bgcolor=\"white\">\n"; } echo "<TD>".$row['name']."</TD><TD>".$row['phonenumber']."</TD><TD>".$row['age']. "</TD>\n"; echo "</TR>\n"; } //now let's close the table and be done with it echo "</TABLE>\n"; ?> I'd appreciate any hints on this... Thanks Dan
