    text
    copied!<p>I have some code in php that accesses a mysql database in sorted order, then prints out the info in a table. However, whenever it calls mysql_fetch_array, the function returns nothing, even though mysql_num_rows is 4. That is, if I do $row=mysql_fetch_array($result);, $row['name'] is "" even though there is most certainly a name column in the table. A snippet of the code is below:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php include_once("include.php"); $number=0; if(!isset($_GET['scores'])) { $number=10; } else if((int )$_GET['scores']&gt;100) { $number=100; } else if((int) $_GET['scores']&lt;0) { $number=10; } else { $number=(int) $_GET['scores']; } $con=mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass); mysql_select_db($dbname, $con); $result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$dbtable_scores." ORDER BY score DESC,date;", $con); $num=1; echo("&lt;table&gt;"); echo("&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;position&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Name&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;score&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;date&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;"); while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result) &amp;&amp; $num&lt;=$number) { echo("&lt;tr&gt;"); echo("&lt;td&gt;".$num."&lt;/td&gt;"); echo("&lt;td&gt;".$row['name']."&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;".$row['score']."&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;".$row['date']."&lt;/td&gt;"); echo("&lt;/tr&gt;"); $num++; } echo("&lt;/table&gt;"); mysql_close($con); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>I have checked the query in mysql cli, and it seems to work fine. However, as you will see if you go to <a href="http://mtgames.org/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://mtgames.org/index.php</a>, the table has only the numbers that are not generated from mysql. The mysql table has columns name, score, date, among others. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, -Michael.</p>
