Can't get all the results to show in my form

[phopman]

I have a beautiful, dynamic and very attractive front page:

[PHP]<?php
error_reporting (E_ALL);
ini_set('displa y_errors', '1');
include '../../db.inc';


$id = intval( mysql_real_esca pe_string( $_GET['id'] ));
//echo "id = $id";
// Connect to server and select database.


$sql="SELECT name,link FROM $tbl_name where contentid = '$id'";
$result=mysql_q uery($sql);

?>
<table width="180" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" >
<tr>
<td>
<table width="170" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" >
<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>
<?php
while($rows=mys ql_fetch_array( $result)){
?>
<tr>
<td><? echo $rows['name']; ?></td>
<td><? echo $rows['link']; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<td align="center"> <a href="update_do c.php?id=<? echo $id;?>">update</a></td>
<td align="center"> <a href="delete_do c.php?id=<? echo $id;?>">delete</a></td>
<td align="center"> <a href="insert_do c.php?id=<? echo $id;?>">insert</a></td>
<?php
mysql_close();
?>[/PHP]

And my update_doc.php is also very beautiful, attractive.
[PHP]<?php
error_reporting (E_ALL);
ini_set('displa y_errors', '1');
include '../../db.inc';

$tbl_name="jos_ documentation"; // Table name
// Connect to server and select database.
//mysql_connect(" $host", "$username" , "$password" )or die("cannot connect");
//mysql_select_db ("$db_name") or die("cannot select DB");

// get value of id that sent from address bar
$id=$_GET['id'];

// Retrieve data from database
$sql="SELECT name,link FROM $tbl_name WHERE contentid='$id' ";
$result=mysql_q uery($sql);
$rows=mysql_fet ch_array($resul t);

?>

<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" >
<tr>
<form name="form1" method="get" action="update_ ac.php">
<td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" >
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td colspan="3"><st rong>Update Main Issues</strong> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center"> &nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center"> &nbsp;</td>
<td align="center"> <strong>Name</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>

<td align="center"> <input name="name" type="text" value="<? echo"$rows[name]"; ?>" size="30" /></td>
<td align="center"> <input name="name" type="text" value="<? echo"$rows[link]"; ?>" size="30" /></td>


</label></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td><input name="id" type="hidden" id="id" value="<? echo $rows['contentid']; ?>"></td>
<td align="center"> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</form>
</tr>
</table>

<?

// close connection
mysql_close();

?>[/PHP]

Problem is that it will only give me the first set of data, name link.


And I'm guessing it should be a petty thing that I have either a) not done or b) done wrong.

Can anyone of you point me in the right direction?

when I do an:

[PHP]SELECT name,link from table where contentid='13'[/PHP] I get two lines of results, instead of only one.


Thank's in advance for all help!

Hi.

Excuse my late reply. Seems your thread managed to slip by unnoticed.

If you look at your first page. Notice how you use a while() loop to loop through each and every one of the rows returned by the database.

The second page does not. It simply reads a single row and displays it, ignoring the rest of the rows completely.

If you simply add the same loop to your second page, your problem will be fixed.

No problem. Solved it partly. Generated the code necessary in Dreamweaver, so now I have it up and running. Except that I can't make it print out every row there is... Maybe I will have to check the while inside the DW code again?

THanks for the help anyway.!
