Question

I have a query that gets 5 lines of data like this example below

$query = "SELECT ref,user,id FROM table LIMIT 0, 5"; 
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$ref = $row['ref'];
}

I want to run a query inside each results like this below

$query = "SELECT ref,user,id FROM table LIMIT 0, 5"; 
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
 $ref = $row['ref'];
$query = "SELECT domain,title FROM anothertable WHERE domain = '$ref'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
if (mysql_num_rows($result) )
{
$title = $row['title'];
} else {
$title = "No Title";
}
echo "$ref - $tile";
}

but for some reason it’s only display the first line when I add the query inside it. I can seem to make it run all 5 queries.

You change the value of your $query in your while loop.
Change the variable name to something different.

Ex:

$query = "SELECT ref,user,id FROM table LIMIT 0, 5"; 
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
 $ref = $row['ref'];
$qry = "SELECT domain,title FROM anothertable WHERE domain = '$ref'";
$rslt = mysql_query($qry) or die(mysql_error());
if (mysql_num_rows($rslt) )
{
$title = $row['title'];
} else {
$title = "No Title";
}
echo "$ref - $tile";
}
