Looping

I've got an issue that I'm having trouble working thru and I'm sure that I'm probably over thinking all of this just need someone to break me out of my brain lock.

I have 54 records in a MySQL table that I will need to run calculations on one at a time and then loop thru the records until done. ( SELECT COUNT(*) AS TotalRecords FROM table1 )

Step 1.
=========
Read 1st Record in table1.

Step 2.
=========
Run (6) different calculations on specific fields and get (6) separate results. (easily done with SQL query)

Step 3.
=========
Write the (6) results from 1st Record to table2 to specific fields using DataAssist.

Step 4.
=========
Run a (3) new calculations on the results stored in table2 for 1st Record to obtain (3) new results. (easily done with SQL query)

Step 5.
=========
Write the (3) results from Step 4 to table2 specific fields using DataAssist.

Step 6.
=========
Loop back to Step 1 and move to the next record not processed. This should run through all the records until complete.


My issue is the coding for Step 6. What is the best way to go about accomplishing this task? I can easily step through steps 1-5 for the 1st record.

Many thanks in advance!

the code for steps 2 - 5 needs to be inside the repeat region for the step one recrodset

the code to loop through a recordset will look like this:

php:
<?php do { ?>

do something here
<?php } while ($row_recordsetForStep1 mysql_fetch_assoc($recordsetForStep1)); ?>




you just need to place the code for steps 2 - 5 inside the loop

php:
<?php do { ?>

perform step 2
perform step 3
perform step 4
perform step 5
<?php } while ($row_recordsetForStep1 mysql_fetch_assoc($recordsetForStep1)); ?>

Ok, I'm still working through my process and I found that I'm processing my last record first before my loop which is not what I want. I need to start with the first record process the steps then move to the next record and so on until all records have been processed in sequence.

The attached image shows that the last record was processed properly, but just in the wrong order.
