query error

Wm
I have a query that I expect to return 3 or 4 entries -- but I seem to be
getting only the most recent entry, repeated 4 times. What am I doing wrong
here?

$query="SELECT artistID,email,city,state,country from artists WHERE
email='$email'";
$result=mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error("Could not execute
query."));
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0){
$alreadylisted = "1";
echo "<CENTER>$email is already in our database. Are you listed
below?</CENTER><BR>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$artistID = $row['artistID'];
$email = $row['email'];
$city = $row['city'];
$state = $row['state'];
$country = $row['country'];
echo "<CENTER><HR><FONT size=\"2\" face=\"Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif\">
<A HREF=\"javascript:;\"
onClick=\"openProfile('artist.php?artistID=".$arti stID.

"','Artist','resizable=yes,width=600,height=300')\ ">".$firstname."
".$lastname."</A><BR>"
.$city.", ".$state." ".$country."</FONT><BR></CENTER>";
}
echo "<HR><CENTER>If you are already listed above,
congratulations!<BR>
If needed, you may edit your listing using the link at
left.</CENTER>";
mysql_free_result($result);
}
Thanx,
Wm

try echoing your query to screen so you can read exactly what is being sent
to the database beforehand.

echo "Query result = ".$result;

yields this output:

ArrayQuery result = Resource id #21

I'm not sure where the word "Array" is coming from, nor what the "Resource
id #21" is.....????

You need to echo the query itself, not the result of the query.

echo "<pre>";
echo $query;

that will return what your query is actually doing it may shed some light.

I pasted the lines above in after the query and got this result output to
the browser:

"Array
ad*****@hotmail.com is already in our database. Are you listed below?"

I'm still not sure why I'm getting the word "Array" output, nor why I don't
see the query that I'm trying to verify. And I'm still getting the same info
output 4 times rather than 4 separate listings, but I'm sure that's a
different problem... <groan>

Thanx,
Wm

Ok insert the echo "$query" line in the following places where indicated
with 'echo', that's how you should isolate the problem to one line of code:
