I know i don't currently have any <br> tags in here, that's because i've tried using it almost everywhere...

What the problem is, is that the text being displayed comes out on 1 line, and i want each set of php rows to be on a different line...

if you have any ideas where i can put the tag, ill try it and let you know. thanks.

What's happening is that you're creating an entirely new table for each entrance you have into your database. Try this idea:

while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result))
{
<tr valign=top>
//more code
</tr>
}

This will create a new row for each occourance of $result.

I'm just glad that I can help somebody 🙂

I make stupid mistakes using php every single day. I'm hardly any sort of expert. In fact, I'd still classify myself as a beginner 😉
