Hi all,

I am having a mental blank here and cannot for the life of me figure out a solution.

My scenario is that I am programming in PHP and MySQL. I have a database table returning the results for a specific orderid. The query can return a maximum of 4 rows per order and a minimum of 1 row.

Here is an image of how I want to return the results. alt text

I have all the orderdetails (Name, address) ect stored in a table named "orders". I have all the packages for that order stored in a table named "packages".

What I need to do is using a loop I need to have access to each specific element of the database results (IE package1, itemstype1, package2, itemtype2) ect

I am using a query like this to try and get hold of just the "number of items:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM bookings_onetime_packages WHERE orderid = '".$orderid."' ORDER BY packageid DESC"; $total = $db->database_num_rows($db->database_query($sql));

$query = $db->database_query($sql);

$noitems = ''; while($info = $db->database_fetch_assoc($query)){ $numberitems = $info['numberofitems'];

for($i=0; $i

$noitems .= $numberitems[$i];

}

} print $noitems;

I need to have access to each specific element because I them need to create fill out a pdf template using "fpdf".

I hope this makes sense. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
