PHP SQLite3 query not displaying all rows - sqlite

Question

I have a PHP script show below that queries for all rows. The result set only shows one row even though there are more.
mbrlist.php
`<?php
$html = "";
class MyDB extends SQLite3
{
function __construct()
{
$this->open('privdata/helpseekers.db');
}
}
$db = new MyDB();
if ( !$db )
{
echo $db->lastErrorMsg();
}
else
{
$rows = $db->query("SELECT COUNT(id) as count FROM accounts");
$row = $rows->fetchArray(SQLITE3_ASSOC);
$numRows = $row['count'];
echo "Opened database successfully - " . $numRows . " Accounts Found\n";
}
$ret = $db->query("SELECT id,userid,fname,lname,password,email,userrole FROM accounts ORDER BY id ASC");
while ( $rec = $ret->fetchArray() )
{
$html = " <td>{$rec[0]}</td> <td>{$rec[1]}</td> <td>{$rec[2]}</td> <td>{$rec[3]}</td> <td>{$rec[4]}</td> <td>{$rec[5]}</td> <td>{$rec[6]}</td> </tr>\n";
if ( !$rec = $ret->fetchArray() ) break;
}
$db->close();
echo $html;
?>`
So why does it not return more than one row?

Answer 1

In the loop you do :
// Before loop variable html contains ""
// on next line you set into $rec the next row data
// in case there is no more row you exit or not not enter the loop
while ( $rec = $ret->fetchArray() )
{
// anything that was inside $html before this assignment is replaced
// by <td>...</td> of current row
$html = " <td>{$rec[0]}</td> <td>{$rec[1]}</td> <td>{$rec[2]}</td> <td>{$rec[3]}</td> <td>{$rec[4]}</td> <td>{$rec[5]}</td> <td>{$rec[6]}</td> </tr>\n";
// here you get the next row in $rec and test if it is not null
// if it is null you exit the loop
if ( !$rec = $ret->fetchArray() ) break;
// at the end of the loop, the code in while ($rec = ...) is
// executed to get row of next data
}
$db->close();
// here you send the contents of $html to client browser
echo $html;
