    <p>I can't seem to figure out what the problem is, but my PHP array isn't outputting as proper JSON. I removed the json_encode function, only to find out that my array's are cascading and not properly formatting themselves. Here is an example of the output (with json_encode removed):</p> <pre><code>Array ( [0] =&gt; Array ( [username] =&gt; g4m3b0y [profile_photo] =&gt; default.png [email] =&gt; michael@me.com [first_name] =&gt; Michael [last_name] =&gt; Simpson ) ) Array ( [0] =&gt; Array ( [username] =&gt; g4m3b0y [profile_photo] =&gt; default.png [email] =&gt; michael@me.com [first_name] =&gt; Michael [last_name] =&gt; Simpson ) [1] =&gt; Array ( [username] =&gt; michelle [profile_photo] =&gt; default.png [email] =&gt; michelle@gmail.com [first_name] =&gt; Michelle [last_name] =&gt; Houston ) ) </code></pre> <p>As you can see, it's creating duplicate results in separate arrays, hence my issue with the JSON output. Here is my code which is generating the results:</p> <pre><code> $sql2 = "SELECT DISTINCT username, profile_photo, first_name, last_name, email FROM users WHERE ( first_name LIKE '%$q%' OR last_name LIKE '%$q%' ) ORDER BY last_name"; $sq2 = mysql_query($sql2); $st2 = mysql_num_rows($sq2); if($st2&gt;=1) { while($a = mysql_fetch_array($sq2)) { $userRow[] = array( 'username' =&gt; $a['username'], 'profile_photo' =&gt; $a['profile_photo'], 'email' =&gt; $a['email'], 'first_name' =&gt; $a['first_name'], 'last_name' =&gt; $a['last_name'] ); header('Content-Type: application/json'); echo json_encode($userRow); } } else { exit; } </code></pre>

    1. COWhat does $userRow[] look like inside the loop - echo this out to prove you are getting the correct data first

    2. COStop using `mysql` functions, too. Use `mysqli` or PDO.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
