Anythough on how I can group orders by customer, list the customer information (from > another table) and then go on to the next order and so the same thing all over again? Load all customers and while looping through the result set load all orders associated with the current customer: // open db connection etc. // load all customers $result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM customers'); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { // output customer data if required echo $row['customerName']; // load all associated orders $tempResult = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM orders WHERE customerID = ' . $row['customerID']); while ($tempRow = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { // output order data if required echo $tempRow['orderID']; } } Regards, Torsten Roehr
