Question

I am having a time tryng to pull ALL records out of a database. For example I have the following

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `plant_info` ORDER BY id LIMIT 0, 50") or die(mysql_error());
// Variables to pull from the database
// I know the line below is the culprit now, so i must change the code below correct? ///
$returneddata = mysql_fetch_array($result);
///////////////////////////////////////////
$LatinName = $returneddata['Latin_Name'];
$CommonName = $returneddata['Common_Name'];
$Category = $returneddata['Category'];
$Type = $returneddata['Type'];
$Fruit = $returneddata['Fruit'];
$Flower = $returneddata['Flower'];
$MinHeight = $returneddata['Min_Height'];
$MaxHeight = $returneddata['Max_Height'];
$MinWidth = $returneddata['Min_Width'];
$MaxWidth = $returneddata['Max_Width'];
$Exposure = $returneddata['Exposure'];
$Comments = $returneddata['Comments'];
$SoilType = $returneddata['Soil_Type'];
$Zone = $returneddata['Zone'];
$PotSize = $returneddata['Pot_Size'];
$CostPrice = $returneddata['Cost_Price'];
$RetailPrice = $returneddata['Retail_Price'];
$ImageName = $returneddata['Image_Name'];
$ImageNameThumb = $returneddata['Image_Name_Thumb'];
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); echo "$num_rows Rows\n";

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {


echo "                           <tr>
                            <td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#000000\">

                            </td>
                            <td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#90c084\">
                                <p>$row[Type]</p>

                            <td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#90c084\">
                                <p>$row[Flower]</p>

                            </td>
                            <td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#90c084\">
                               <p>$row[Comments]</p>
                            </td>

                            </td>
                            <td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#90c084\">
                               <p><a href=\"editplant.php?get=$row[id]\">Edit</a></p>
                               <p><a href =\"print_sign_div.php?get=$row[id]\">Print</a></p>
                            </td>
                        </tr>

";
}

The issue i have is that it will pull all the records except for the first one. Every other record shows, there are only 5 records currently.

I am missing something silly I know it. I looked through questions and could not find the answer. Thanks

It could be because you’re calling the mysql_fetch_array command twice.

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

You only need to declare mysql_fetch_array once, which is inside the while parameter.

This should be your code:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `plant_info` ORDER BY id LIMIT 0, 30");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

echo "                           <tr>
                            <td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#000000\">
                                <p><img src=\"$row[Image_Name]\" style=\"width:120px;height:auto;\"></p>
                            </td>
                            <td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#90c084\">
                                <p>$row[Latin_Name]</p>
                            </td>
                            <td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#90c084\">
                                <p>$row[Common_Name]</p>
                            </td>
                            <td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#90c084\">
                                <p>$row[Category]</p>
                            </td>
                            <td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#90c084\">
                                <p>$row[Type]</p>
                            </td>

                            <td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#90c084\">
                                <p>$row[Flower]</p>

                            <td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#90c084\">
                               <p>$row[Comments]</p>
                            </td>

                            </td>
                            <td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#90c084\">

                            </td>
                        </tr>
