But you are REPLACING the contents of $show_var each time, so you only end up with the *LAST* record in $show_var. You need to either concatenate to $show_var to dump *all* the data into one big long text, or you need to move all the code below *inside* the loop to do whatever you are trying to do to EACH $show_var, one after another. > $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE kind LIKE '20'"); > while($record=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) > { > echo " <html> > <head> > <meta http-equiv='content-type' content='text/ > html;charset=iso-8859-1'> > <title>test</title> > </head> > <body bgcolor='#ffffff'> > <table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='2' > cellpadding='0' height='50'> > <tr> > <td><img src='../../../Media/HMLogo.gif' > alt='' height='40' width='147' border='0'></td> > <td></td> > <td></td> > </tr> > </table> > <table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='2' > cellpadding='0'> > <tr height='526'> > <td width='100%' height='600'> > ".$show_var." > </td> > </tr> > </table> > </body> > </html>"; > print " > <script type='text/javascript'> > window.print(); > </script>"; > } These sems okay, I guess, though I'd get rid of the HTML inside of quotes thing and use a heredoc or just break out of PHP and put <?php echo $show_var?> in the middle of a good long chunk of HTML. I'm not really sure what you're trying to *DO* mind you... Maybe you only wanted the LAST record from table1 in the first place... I sure doubt it though. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
