While inside another while - php

Question

I am trying to display data from two different Mysql tables in the same html table. Do do that I have put a while loop inside another while loop. The problem is that in the table the data of the second loop is displayed only on the first raw of the html table. I really don't know what is wrong. Thanks for your help.
<?php
while($results = mysql_fetch_array($raw_results)){
echo '<td>';
echo '<a href="linkto.php?data='.ucfirst($results['song_name']).'" class="iframe"><img src="icons/1384070574_95.png"> ';
echo '<a href="'.ucfirst($results['song_name']).'" class="clapping">';
echo '<img src="icons/Hand-icon.png" id="songs'.$pictureid.'" onClick="action(\'songs'.$pictureid.'\')"/></a>';
echo '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
if (isset($userid)){
echo '<td>
<div id="cssmenu">
<ul>
li class="has-sub><span><img src="icons/1384074758_document_music_add.png"></span>
<ul>
<li class="has-sub"><span>Create a Playlist</span></li>';
while($playlist = mysql_fetch_array($raw_playlist)){
echo'<li class="has-sub"><span>'.ucfirst($playlist['title']).'</span></li>';
}
echo'</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</td>';
}
echo' </tr>
';
$pictureid = $pictureid + 1;
$songid= $songid + 1;
}
echo '</tbody>';
?>

As mentioned in the comments, you may have a problem with your nested data depending on what you're trying to show.
However, your HTML is a mess, missing some opening and closing tags, which may mean that some data is being sent to the browser but not being displayed. Have you looked at the source of the page in the browser to check the data is not there? Until you do, we cannot be sure whether the missing data is an HTML, SQL or PHP error.
You should try to limit the amount of HTML that you echo from PHP for this reason, and I've tidied it up a bit and added missing tags below. See if that helps at all.
<?php while ($results = mysql_fetch_array($raw_results)) : ?>
<tr>
<td>
<img src="icons/1384070574_95.png">
<img src="icons/Hand-icon.png" id="songs<?php echo $pictureid; ?>" onClick="action('songs<?php echo $pictureid; ?>')" />
</td>
</tr>
<?php if (isset($userid)) : ?>
<tr>
<td>
<div id="cssmenu">
<ul>
<li class="has-sub><span><img src="icons/1384074758_document_music_add.png"></span>
<ul>
<li class="has-sub"><span>Create a Playlist</span></li>
<?php while ($playlist = mysql_fetch_array($raw_playlist)) : ?>
<li class="has-sub"><span><?php echo ucfirst($playlist['title']); ?></span></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</td>
<?php endif; ?>
</tr>
<?php
$pictureid++;
$songid++;
endwhile;
