    <p>From what you've written i think you are doing something like:</p> <pre><code>function holiday_hitlist($tablename, $hit_user){ /* connections etc */ while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $title = $row['title']; $url = $row['URL']; $price = "$" . $row['price']; $output = print "&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"$url\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;$title&lt;/a&gt;$price&lt;/li&gt;"; } print "&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"; return $output; } print holiday_hitlist("mytab","myuser"); </code></pre> <p>or maybe </p> <pre><code>$somevar = holiday_hitlist("mytab","myuser"); print $somevar; </code></pre> <p>It's really a problem with the fact that you are "printing" the returned value. In your above example why return anything? You could either;</p> <p>a) set up the function as a routine that just does something and returns nothing. (ie: just remove the <strong>return $output</strong> and the print in <strong>print holiday_hitlist()</strong>)</p> <p>or</p> <p>b) create a function that returns the data you want and then do something with it.</p> <p>An example of b) is;</p> <pre><code>function holiday_hitlist($tablename, $hit_user){ /* connections etc */ while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $title = $row['title']; $url = $row['URL']; $price = "$" . $row['price']; $output .= "&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"$url\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;$title&lt;/a&gt;$price&lt;/li&gt;"; } return $output; } $somevar = holiday_hitlist("mytab","myuser"); print "&lt;div class=\'hit_list\'&gt; &lt;h3&gt;My Holiday Hitlist&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Five things I want the most, based on my desirability ratings.&lt;br/&gt;You can't go wrong with this stuff!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ol&gt; $somevar &lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"; </code></pre> <p>The function above helps to separate the presentation (ie: the HTML) from your data. While not perfect in this example you will be able to see all your html in one block and debug it a lot easier.</p>

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.
