database problem?

hi all! i have the following problem: 1.im loading 5 colums from a mysql-table into an array: $threads = db_query("SELECT title, date, body, poster, board_posts_ID FROM board_posts WHERE msgkind = 'thr' ORDER BY date DESC"); everything fine so far... 2.im trying to list them line by line: while (list ($title, $date, $body, $poster, $msgID) = mysql_fetch_array($threads)){ print (" <tr>\n". " <td><a href=\"view_thread.php&parent=".$msgID. " \">$title</a></td>\n". " <td>$poster</td>\n". " <td>$date</td>\n". " </tr>\n"); } here is the problem: there's always one line(row) missing (i.e. if there are 17 rows in the db, 16 are being displayed in the browser).i've tried the same code with mysql_fetch_row()...no difference in the outcome. please reply to this msg if you can help, thx in advance, Chris
