Hi Larry, great book, finding it really clear and useful.
Thought I'd just ask about the style of coding you've used to display the products in the list_products.html file.
You include the header div for that page within the while loop, only echoing it on the first iteration. It uses the g_description and g_image columns from the first row.
My problem is that, g_description and g_image are still in every other row of the mysql result. They are identical to those in the first row and are never used. I can't help but feel it's a shame to have called for them in the first place.
Have you done it this way to minimize calls to the database?
The way I might be tempted to write this page, is to get the category details in a separate database call, then I could take the header completely out of the while loop, and there wouldn't be a need for the if (!$header){ condition.
Hope that makes sense to you. Just wondering what your thoughts on this were?
Thanks for reading!
