$x = 1; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { if ($x) { do_something(); $x = 0; continue; } else { do_something_else(); } } This sets $x = 1 before the loop. The first time it goes through the loop it does something for the first record and sets $x = 0; Every time you loop through after that $x will equal 0 and that do_something_else() condition will be used for every subsequent loop.
