Alrighty..
Working with your code and some others I've come up with this:
<?php
if ($sort) {
$list = explode("-", $sort);
}
$test = Array('A-D', 'D-G', 'G-J', 'J-M', 'M-P', 'P-S', 'S-V', 'V-Y',
'Y-Z');
foreach ($test as $group) {
if (strtolower ($group) != $sort) {
$lgroup = strtolower ($group);
echo "<a
href=\"patterns.php?sort={$lgroup}\">{$group}</a><br />";
}
}
$designerQuery = db_query("SELECT designer FROM kcs_patterns WHERE
designer BETWEEN '".$list[0]."' and '".$list[1]."' GROUP BY designer
ORDER BY designer");
while ($designerResult = db_fetch($designerQuery)) {
?>
<img src="Graphics/spacer.gif" width="10" height="1"><a href=""><font
class="catalogueSubCatLink"><?php echo $designerResult['designer']; ?>
Designers</font></a><br>
<?php
}
?>
This works as I need it to.. shifting from one set of results to
another. My problem is how do I format it like the following(assuming
A-D was selected):
A-D Designers
Artists Collection The
Barrick Samplers
Bent Creek
Brown House Studio
Butternut Road
Calico Crossroads
Canterbury
Cross My Heart
Crossed Wing Collection
D-G
G-J
J-M
M-P
P-S
S-V
V-Y
Y-Z
Or if D-G was selected:
A-D
D-G Designers
Datta Bonnie
Design Connection
Design Connection The
DMC
Donna Gallagher Creative Needlearts
Dragon Dreams
Family Tree The
Fanci That
Full Circle Designs
G-J
J-M
M-P
P-S
S-V
V-Y
Y-Z
I've tried a few placements of the foreach loop but nothing seems to
work. Any ideas?
Thanks!

yes of course. =) just create a function that takes in two letters as a
parameter,
then build the query string from it.
function($char_begin, $char_end)
{
$q_begin = strtolower($char_begin);
$q_end = chr(ord(strtolower($char_begin))+1);
$query = "SELECT designer_name FROM designer WHERE designer_name
BETWEEN '".$q_begin."' AND '".$q_end."' ORDER BY designer_name";
//do your query here.
}
