Question

Any suggestion of whats wrong with my WHILE Loop?

    <?php
        include('header.php');
        $manage = "current_page_item";
        include('nav.php');
        include('sidebar.php');
    ?>
    <div class="primary">
    <br/>
    <?php
    $userId = $_GET['id'];
    echo "<div class=\"item_list\">";
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE id = " . intval($userId);
    $result = mysql_query($sql);
    while($item = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
    {
        echo "<b>Title: </b>" . $item['item'] . "<br/><b>Email: </b>" . $item['email'] . "<br/>";
        echo "<b>Price: </b>" . $item['price'] . "</b><br/><b>Category: </b>" . $item['category'] . "</b><br/> <b>Extra: </b>" . ($item['extra'] ."</b><br/><b>Date Listed: </b>". $item['date'];
    }
    echo "</div>";
?>
</div>
<?php include('footer.php'); ?>

Your mistake is here. You’re using the wrong variable name to fetch rows:

while($userid = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){

It should be:

while($item = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){

Additionally, there’s a loose closing brace } at the very last line just before the closing tag ?>. I don’t know if it was orphaned by an opening block you left out of your question, or it was really there by mistake.
