PHP - Moved: Created List In The While Loop Breaks Out Of The Div Wrapper

I have an XML file (differences.xml)
<element>
<item code="lM" name="castle" type="building">
<cost>5000</cost>
</item>
...more items....
</element>

I have parser.php whih parses the XML and displays all item names in a checklist for the user to select items. These selected items are method=post back to parser.php which re-parses the XML where selected item = item name and SHOULD then display all selected items' names (and more):
<?php        
if (isset($_GET['formSubmit'])) {
$option = $_POST['option'];
$option = array_values($option);
if (!empty($option)){
$xml = simplexml_load_file('differences.xml');
$i = 0;
$count = count($option);
while($i < $count)
{
$selected = $xml->xpath("//item[@name='".$option[$i]."']");
echo $selected[$i]['name'];
$i++;
}
}else{
echo "No items selected, Please select:";
}
}else{

$xml = simplexml_load_file('differences.xml');
$object = $xml->xpath('//item');
$count = count($object);
$i = 0;
echo "<form method='POST' action='parser.php'>";
while($i < $count){
$xmlname = $object[$i]['name'];
echo "<input type='checkbox' name='option[".$i."]' value='$xmlname'>".$xmlname;
echo "<br>";
$i++;
}
echo "<br><input type='submit' name='formSubmit' value='Proceed'><br>";
echo "</form>";
}
?>

The problem is, the parser is only displaying the first selected item and isn't outputting the rest. To clarify the code:
- The first half executes only if items have been previously selected in the form. If no items were selected, it goes to the secod half, which parses the XML file and presents the checklist form for the user to select items. THIS WORKS GREAT.
- After pressing the submit button, the items are sent using POST and the page is reloaded. THIS WORKS GREAT.
- After reloading, the first half executes and finds the $_POST and resets the array so that it works with the coming loop. THIS WORKS GREAT.
- The loop parses the XML and returns only those item names that have been selected in the $_POST. THIS DOES NOT WORK.

So my question is: what's wrong with my code? The array $options has all the proper information, but the parser is only outputting the first item. All consecutive loops result in empty space with no output.

I've been at this for 2 weeks and can't find the solution. Any help is appreciated!

I have developed the following code, which queries a MySQL database and returns multiple results using several WHILE loops:

Code: [Select]
<?php 
# if submit_hash is present, then pull up the attendance from specified hash
if($_GET['submit_hash'])
{
# select all the hashers from the specified hash
$query = "
SELECT
h.*,
ha.*
FROM
hashes as h,
hashers as ha,
hash_records as hr
WHERE
hr.hash_id = " . $_GET['hash_id'] . "
&& hr.hash_id = h.hash_id 
&& hr.hasher_id = ha.hasher_id
ORDER BY
ha.hasher_name ";

$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error selecting Hash attendance.');

$x = 1;


while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
if($x == 1)
{
echo '<strong>' . $row['hash_num'] . ' ' . $row['hash_name'] . ' - ' . date("D, d M Y", strtotime($row['hash_date'])) . '</strong><em>Total Hashers: ' . mysql_num_rows($result) . '</em>';

$x++;
}


# see if this person was the hare
if($row['hare_id'] == $row['hasher_id'] || $row['hare2_id'] == $row['hasher_id'] || $row['hare3_id'] == $row['hasher_id'])
{ $hare = '- hare';
         }
else {
$hare = '';
}
echo $row['hasher_name'] . ' <b>' . $hare . '</b>';
}
} else if($_GET['submit_hasher']) 


{ 
# if submit_hasher is present, pull up all of their hashes and aliases

# select all the hashes that this person has attended
$a_query = "
SELECT
h.*,
ha.*
FROM
hashes as h,
hashers as ha,
hash_records as hr
WHERE
hr.hash_id = h.hash_id &&
hr.hasher_id = ha.hasher_id &&
hr.hasher_id = " . $_GET['hasher_id'] . "
ORDER BY
h.hash_date DESC ";

$a_result = mysql_query($a_query) or die('Error selecting the person\'s Hashes . ');

$x = 1;

while($a_row = mysql_fetch_array($a_result))
{
if($x == 1)
{
echo '<strong>Hash Attendance Record For ' . $a_row['hasher_name'] . '</strong> <em>(' . mysql_num_rows($a_result) . ' total hashes)</em>';

$x++;
}
echo '#' . $a_row['hash_num'].' ' . $a_row['hash_name'] . ' on ' . date("D, d M Y", strtotime($a_row['hash_date']));


# see if this person was a hare
if($a_row['hasher_id'] == $a_row['hare_id'] || $a_row['hasher_id'] == $a_row['hare2_id'] || $a_row['hasher_id'] == $a_row['hare3_id'])
{
echo ' - <b>hare</b>';
}
echo '';
}
echo '';
}

echo '

<table width="100%">
<br />
<tbody>
<tr>
<br />
<td>
';

?>


The problem is that everything that is returned from the WHILE loops is displayed in a single line.  However, I want the data displayed with a line break between each result, like this:

Header
Return 1 from WHILE loop
Return 2 from WHILE loop
Return 3 from WHLIE loop

How do I need to modify the code to make it display appropriately?
