php - mysql_fetch_array skipping first row

Question

I am using this same process to create and populate tables - Everything works fine except that the first row is skipped in every table. Could use another pair of eyes as I can't seem to pinpoint the issue. Thanks in advance.

   $query = "SELECT * FROM members";
   $results = mysql_query($query);
   $row = mysql_fetch_array($results);

   
   //echo my <table> start and headings;

    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)) 
    {
    echo "<tr><td>".$row['Last Name']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['First Name']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Middle Name']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Sfx']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Prf']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Spouse/SO']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Ancestor']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Status']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Address 1']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Address 2']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['City']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['ST']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Zip 5']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Zip 4']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Home Phone']."</td>";
    echo '<td><a href="mywebsite/mypage.php?id=' . $row['id'] . '">Bio</a></td></tr>';
    }

    echo "</table><hr>";

Answer 1

You are calling mysql_fetch_array twice... once before the loop then once while looping.

If you need a seed row for use in building your header row you might be better served with a do.. while loop here.

$query = "SELECT * FROM members";
$results = mysql_query($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results);

//echo my <table> start and headings;

do  
{
    echo "<tr><td>".$row['Last Name']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['First Name']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Middle Name']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Sfx']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Prf']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Spouse/SO']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Ancestor']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Status']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Address 1']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Address 2']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['City']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['ST']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Zip 5']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Zip 4']."</td>";
    echo "<td>".$row['Home Phone']."</td>";
    echo '<td><a href="mywebsite/mypage.php?id=' . $row['id'] . '">Bio</a></td></tr>';
} while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results));

echo "</table><hr>";
