nested while loops

[Anon]

I'm trying to format text from a Mysql data base, and only have to do it with one loop. Why doesen't htids work? and whart will?

<?php

$link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "derekbronston", "xxxxxxx")
or die ("Could not connect");
mysql_select_db("music", $link);

$sql="SELECT * from articles";



$result=mysql_query($sql);








$j=0;
$i=0;
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
	if($name==$row[1]){
$paragraphs=explode("*",$row[2]);
	while($j<count($paragrahs)){
print("<p><span class=text>$paragraphs[$j]</span></p>");
	}
	}
else{
$i++;
}
}

?>

For one thing your loops are poorly constructed.

$j is never incrememnted nor is it initialized inside the first while loop.
