Question

I’ve got a problem with my php script. The script generates two <ul>‘s, one with the images, another with the thumbnails. The php runs through the first while loop perfectly, but my <ul> for thumbnails always comes back empty. I’ve been working through it to no luck, and I can’t seem to get the script to print any errors. Help?

include "../backend/connect.php";
$query = "select image_id from images where thumb != '';";
$result = mysql_query($query);
<div id="main">
    <div id="container">
        <ul>
            <?php
            while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
                $img_id = $row['image_id'];
            ?>
            <li class="hidden" id="<?php print($img_id); ?>" style="background-image:url(/pull.php?id=<?php print($img_id);?>&thumb=false)"></li>
            <?php } ?>
            <li class="" id="focus"></li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>
<div id="side">
    <div id="photos"><ul>
    <?php
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
        $img_id = $row['image_id'];
    ?>
        <div class="imgDiv" id="<?php print($img_id); ?>" >
            <li>
                <img src="pull.php?id=<?php print($img_id);?>&thumb=true" class="thumbnail"/>

            </li>
        </div>
    <?php
        }
    ?>
    </ul></div>
    </div>
</div>

Answer 1

you’re using a while loop to loop through the results, you cant do it twice.

Call mysql_data_seek($result, 0); to reset the internal pointer back to the first record after your first time through the results to start over.
