PHP arrays can't have duplicate keys, so it's doing: name -> $getidsd['fname']; next time it gets a row, it's overwriting it. If you do something like this: $salespersonsstor[] = Array("name"=>$getidsd['fname'].' '.$getidsd['lname'],"idIS"=>$getidsd['employeeid']); it will add to the array (notice the square brackets). Do a print_r or var_dump after your loop so you understand how the array is put together and how you can then use it. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
