    copied!<p>Right, so I've got a query that looks like this:</p> <pre><code>$bestof_query = "SELECT * FROM physicians p JOIN (awards a, categories c, awardLevels l) ON (a.id = p.id AND c.id = a.category AND l.id = a.level) ORDER BY a.category, a.level ASC "; $query = mysql_query($bestof_query); while($result = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { extract($result); echo "&lt;h3&gt;" . $category . "&lt;h3&gt;"; foreach($category as $value) { echo "&lt;h5&gt;" . $name . "&lt;h5&gt;" . "&lt;p&gt;" . $description . "&lt;/p&gt;" . "\r\n"; } } </code></pre> <p>A typical result looks like-</p> <pre><code>Array ( [0] =&gt; 39 [id] =&gt; 1 [1] =&gt; William�B.�Poff [name] =&gt; William�B.�Poff [2] =&gt; 10 South Main Street [address1] =&gt; 10 South Main Street [3] =&gt; Tower A, Suite 1400 [address2] =&gt; Tower A, Suite 1400 [4] =&gt; Jackson [city] =&gt; Jackson [5] =&gt; VA [state] =&gt; VA [6] =&gt; 24111 [zip] =&gt; 24111 [7] =&gt; downtown-jackson [neighborhood] =&gt; downtown-jackson [8] =&gt; 5409837649 [phone] =&gt; 5401111111 [9] =&gt; http://www.foo.com [uri] =&gt; http://www.foo.com [10] =&gt; Foo�Rogers,�PLC [firm] =&gt; Foo�Rogers,�PLC [11] =&gt; 39 [12] =&gt; 1 [category] =&gt; Bankruptcy [13] =&gt; 1 [level] =&gt; 1 [14] =&gt; 2009 [year] =&gt; 2009 [15] =&gt; 1 [16] =&gt; Bankruptcy [17] =&gt; 1 [18] =&gt; Platinum [description] =&gt; Platinum ) </code></pre> <p>I'm trying to loop through based on the [category] and while the category is equal to Bankruptcy, then output all the results for bankruptcy, then move on to the next category.</p> <p>Does that make sense? I've never been very good with loops so thanks in advance!</p> <p>What I am hoping for is-</p> <pre><code>&lt;h3&gt;$category&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;$name - $description&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;$name - $description&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;$name - $description&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;$name - $description&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre> <p>And then iterate to the next category. I think a nested loop, but I'm not sure how to do the nested loop.</p>
