php - mysqli ignoring the first row in a table

Question

Here is the code I'm using to pull the data from the table:

require_once 'connect.php';
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `db-news`";
$result = $mysqli->query($sql);
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
    printf ($row['pagename'].' - To edit this page <a href="editnews.php?id='.$row['id'].'">click here</a><br>');
}

Always the first row is ignored. I'm not calling mysqli_fetch_assoc twice as with some other examples on SO. I've tried changing echo to printf in the while loop and still the first row is ignored in the DB.

I'm at a loss as to what I should try next?

Answer 1

mysqli not ignoring it but actually you are fetching first row before while loop

$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result); //remove this line
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
   ....
}
