$all_clicks = mysql_fetch_array($result);

foreach($all_clicks as $click){
    print "
    <table border=\"1\">
      <tr>
        <th>Location</th>
        <th>Visit Count</th>

Answer 1

mysql_fetch_array fetches one row as an array. When you try to loop over that result with your foreach, you are actually looping through all the columns of the row you returned (twice, actually, because by default, mysql_fetch_array returns an array with both numeric and indexed keys!)

If you want to get all the rows in your result set (and you more than likely do), you need to use a while loop to keep fetching rows until there aren’t anymore:

$all_clicks = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
  $all_clicks[] = $row;
}

and then when you iterate over $all_clicks, each iteration will have a complete row.
