php- foreach statement duplicating results - php

Question

I have a while and foreach loop that I want to use to print all of my results from a MySQL query. Below is my code for the while statement and the foreach statements.
WHILE:
while ($row_questions = mysql_fetch_array($result_questions)) {
$step_number[] = $row_questions['step_number'];
if ($row_questions['step_number_sub'] != 0) {
$step_number_sub[] = $row_questions['step_number_sub'];
} else {
$step_number_sub[] = "0";
};
if ($row_questions['step_required'] != 0) {
$step_required[] = "*";
} else {
$step_required[] = "";
};
$step_description[] = $row_questions['step_description'];
$step_outcome[] = $row_questions['step_outcome'];
$step_equipment[] = $row_questions['step_equipment'];
$test_changes[] = $row_questions['test_changes'];
};
and my FOREACH:
foreach ($step_number as $i => $step){
$even_odd = ( '-odd' != $even_odd ) ? '-odd' : '';
echo '<section class="zebra'.$even_odd.'">';
echo '<div class="span-2 number"><strong>'.$step_number[$i].'</strong></div>';
echo '<div class="span-20 description">'.$step_description[$i].'</div>';
echo '<div class="span-2">'.$step_required[$i].'</div>';
if ($step_outcome[$i] != null) {
echo '<div class="span-22 outcome"><strong>Desired Outcome</strong><br>'.$step_outcome[$i].'</div>';
}
echo '<div class="clear"></div>';
echo '<article class="results">';
echo '<div class="span-10">Did this step match the desired outcome?</div>';
echo '<div class="span-10">Notes:</div>';
echo '<div class="span-10">
<select name="question_'.$step[$i].'" id="question_'.$step[$i].'" required aria-required="true">
<option name="pass" value="Pass">Yes, this step was completed successfully</option>
<option name="fail" value="Fail">No, this step failed to complete. See notes below</option>
</select>
</div>';
echo '<div class="span-10"><textarea name="question_'.$step[$i].'" id="question_'.$step[$i].'" class="nots"></textarea></div>';
echo '</article>';
echo '<div class="clear"></div>';
echo '</section>';
};
I am getting multiple versions of the same results (4). Thanks in advance for any help and let me know if you need any other info!

Answer 1

Don't use multiple arrays. Use a class structure or array for each element. A simple way to do this:
while ($row_questions = mysql_fetch_array($result_questions))
questions[] = $row_questions;
foreach( $questions as $question )
{
$even_odd = ( '-odd' != $even_odd ) ? '-odd' : '';
echo '<section class="zebra'.$even_odd.'">';
echo '<div class="span-2 number"><strong>'.$question['step_number'].'</strong></div>';
echo '<div class="span-20 description">'.$question['step_description'].'</div>';
echo '<div class="span-2">'.$question['step_required'].'</div>';
if ($question['step_outcome'] != null)
{
echo '<div class="span-22 outcome"><strong>Desired Outcome</strong><br>'.$question['step_outcome'].'</div>';
}
... you get the drift ...
};
