Question

I’ve written some simple php code designed to retrieve data from a database based on the session id. If the session ID is 1 then I query the database to find all entries with the UserID of 1 and then output them.

This works to a certain extent, I can get the query to output the correct entries but for some reason it never outputs the most recent entry, instead it skips it and outputs the rest instead.

My code is below, can anyone spot what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks

$id = $_GET['id'];
if ($id) 
{
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `forum_topics` WHERE `uid`='" . $id . "'";
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

if (mysql_num_rows($res) == 0) 
{
    echo "You haven't got any adverts to display";
} 
else 
{
    $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res);

    echo "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"3\" cellpadding=\"3\" width=\"100%\">\n";

    echo "<tr align=\"center\"><td class=\"forum_header\">Title</td><td class=\"forum_header\">User</td><td class=\"forum_header\">Date Created</td></tr>";

    while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) 
    {
        echo "<tr align=\"center\"><td><a href=\"index.php?act=topic&id=" . $row2['id'] . "\">" . s($row2['title']) . "</a></td><td>" . uid($row2['uid']) . "</td><td>" .                 $row2['date'] . "</td></tr>";
    }
    echo "</table>\n";



}
}

Answer 1

It looks to me like this line is the problem:
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res);

That line is fetching the first row, so your while loop starts at the second row (since you already fetched the first row, and the pointer was moved to the next row).

Try removing the line I mentioned and see if it works.
