The code below returns the 10 most recent entries to a MySQL database. That’s what I want, but I also want it to display the results in an HTML table. Right now, only the most recent result is in a table, a one-row table. The rest of the results are displayed in a jumble of text. How could I get all of the results in a 10-row table?

Thanks in advance,

John 

$sqlStr = "SELECT loginid, title, url, displayurl
                FROM submission ORDER BY datesubmitted DESC LIMIT 10";
    $result = mysql_query($sqlStr);

    $arr = array(); 
    echo "<table class=\"samplesrec\">";
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { 
        echo '<tr>';
        echo '<td class="sitename2"><a href="http://www.'.$row["url"].'">'.$row["title"].'</a></td>';
        echo '<td class="sitename2"><a href="http://www.'.$row["url"].'">'.$row["loginid"].'</a></td>';
        echo '</tr>';

    echo "</table>";

    Move the } for the while to be above the echo "</table>"; line.

    That way the loop repeats once for every row and the echo "</table>"; line happens after all rows. Without that close bracket, the table gets closed after the first row, and then another row appears but outside a table, and then another close-table tag, etc.
