Error on Tutorial example.

I have tried your tutorial regarding fetching things from a database (http://codewalkers.com/tutorials/15/1.html) and splitting it into multiple rows after a predefined value but i get an strange behavior when i run the code, i do not get the first line in the database to show, i have checked the and that one returns 21 rows but the output only show the row 2-21.

This is my code:


I have set cols to a value of 3

Have i done something in above code that generates this or is there a miss in the turorial?

the for statement has a closing php tag in it that might be the culprit as well as the if Statement...

for($i = 0; $i < $num_rows ?>; $i++) {

should look like

for($i = 0; $i < $num_rows; $i++) {

and

if(($i % $cols) == ($cols - 1) || ($i + 1) == $num_rows?>) {

should look like

if(($i % $cols) == ($cols - 1) || ($i + 1) == $num_rows) {

If that is in the actual code, fix those errors and try it again.

Hmm, the code i posted here has got some code i didn´t put in when writing this topic.....?

The code below is the one i got and it looks like the one you posted blindeddie.

//changed this to a for loop so we can use the number of rows
for($i = 0; $i < $num_rows; $i++) {
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
if($i % $cols == 0) {
//if there is no remainder, we want to start a new row
echo "<TR>n";
}
echo "<TD>" . $row['id'] . "</TD>n";
if(($i % $cols) == ($cols - 1) || ($i + 1) == $num_rows) {
//if there is a remainder of 1, end the row
//or if there is nothing left in our result set, end the row
echo "</TR>n";
}

So what could be the problem???

Does anyone have a solution on this, because i don't it's very strange.
