Question

Hey guys, first time using stackoverflow.

can you guys help me debug?

Heres the problem, this query is selecting all of the rows from my database, its only outputting the first one twice for some reason.

  $top10_query = "SELECT * FROM kicks";
  $result = mysqli_query($cxn, $top10_query) or die("Couldn't execute query.");
  $row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);

  $rating = $row['rating'];
  $description = $row['description'];
  $completed = $row['completed'];
  $userid = $row['userid'];
  $posted = $row['posted'];

  while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
   echo "<tr>";
    echo "<td class='rating'>" . $rating . "</td>";
    echo "<td class='description'>" . $description . " </td>";
    echo "<td class='completed_" . $completed . "'>" . $completed  . "</td>";
    echo "<td class='author'>";
     echo "Posted by: <a href='profile?userid=" . $userid . "'>" . $userid . "</a><br />";
     echo "on "; echo $posted;
    echo "</td>";
   echo "</tr>";
  }

You are looping over the rowset, but never retrieving its value more than once. You pulled all of the values out of the first row, and cached them here:

$rating = $row['rating'];
$description = $row['description'];
$completed = $row['completed'];
$userid = $row['userid'];
$posted = $row['posted'];

Move this code into the loop, and remove the first fetch.
