while loop clarification/heresy

[BEFOR]

I've been told that the following checkboxes may leave out the first result.
Is this true?

<table>
<?php do { ?>
    <tr>
      <td><strong>
        <input type="checkbox" name="col[]" value="<?php echo $row_Recordset1['CID']?>">
      </strong></td>
      <td><strong><?php echo $row_Recordset1['color']?>, <?php echo $row_Recordset1['palette']?></strong></td>
    </tr>
    <?php } while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1)); ?>
  </table>

So does this have be written as a WHILE only (not "do while") as it seems to return the correct results as is. Recordset1 is defined higher on the page.

😎 can anyone tell me how to format these various # of result returned into three columns, with?

<?php $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
echo "$num_rows Rows\n";?>

Is $row_Recordset1 defined before the loop starts? If not, you'll get a blank checkbox and a bunch of notices about uninitialised variables.

And for your other question, search the forums for "display table columns".

Thank you Weekpacket.

-Searched all results for "display table columns". Very interesting.

What I can't find though is how to do this with a "while loop" for checkboxes.

All examples here and elsewhere on other forums seem to deal with more straightforward output.

I don't see why having an <input type="checkbox"> tag in the output would make any difference...?

Yeah but how's it done? Can that part be ignored since its not being displayed?
