I guess it is the missing semicolon.

Hi All, this page, http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql/5 has the below code, <? $i=0; while ($i < $num) { $first=mysql_result($result,$i,"first"); $last=mysql_result($result,$i,"last"); $phone=mysql_result($result,$i,"phone"); $mobile=mysql_result($result,$i,"mobile"); $fax=mysql_result($result,$i,"fax"); $email=mysql_result($result,$i,"email"); $web=mysql_result($result,$i,"web"); ?> <tr> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><? echo $first." ".$last; ?></font></td> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans- serif"><? echo $phone; ?></font></td> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><? echo $mobile; ?></font></td> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><? echo $fax; ?></font></td> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="mailto:<? echo $email; ?>">E-mail</a></font></td> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="<? echo $web; ?>">Website</a></font></td> </tr> <? $i++; } echo "</table>"; which I basically understand, except the html generation. I am trying to create something similiar, although, I think there are some errors in even perhaps my logic..? <html> <body> <h1><center>Jumbo Status</center></h1><br> <?php $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "grunger"); mysql_select_db("status",$db); $result = mysql_query("SELECT ProductTypes.product_type_detail FROM ProductTypes",$db); $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result); $num = mysql_num_rows($result); ?> <table aligh="center" border="2"> <tr> <td>Product Type</td> </tr> <? $i=0; while ($i < $num){ $product_type=mysql_result($result,$i,"product_type_detail"); echo "<tr><td><? echo $product_type ?></td></tr>" } $i++ ?> </table> </body> </html> I get the folowing error, *Parse error*: parse error, unexpected '}', expecting ',' or ';' in */var/www/html/products.php* on line *20 * which is the $i++ section.

------- End of Original Message ------- Hi All,

Thanx. I saw the extra echo and removed it. Problem with that code, though. It displays only the 1st record, repeatedly, causing the browser to hang. Can anyone see what is wrong..? Cheers. Mark Sargent.
