Help in removin gDuplication of headings

[Rob (SA)]

Hi Folks,

I have the following script that is causing duplication of headings - which I do not want to see.

I have been building this page by cut and paste over time due to no experiance in writting script or php.

Please excuse the mess for those that know - if it needs cleaning your advice is always welcome.

<?php
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "******_robert", "******h") or
die ("Hey loser, check your server connection.");
mysql_select_db("******_Members");
$quey1="select * from _Form_Nr_2 ORDER BY `surname` ASC, `name` ASC";
$result=mysql_query($quey1) or die(mysql_error());
?>
