Why Does This Give Me An Empty First Array?

[thebigtymer]

I have a problem with the following piece of code.

echo "<br /><b>On Today's Schedule:</b><br />"; 

$duration = 0;
 
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) 
{ 
  if ($djname != $row['name']) 
  // not same name as the last time 
  {
     $programs[] = array('start' => $start, 'end' => $end, 'djname' => $djname); 
     $djname = $row['name'];
     $start = $row['start'];
     $end = $row['end'];
     $duration = 1;
  } 
  else 
  { 
     $end =  $row['end'];
     $duration += 1;
  } 
} 

if ($duration) $programs[] = array('start' => $start, 'end' => $end, 'djname' => $djname);

// now print out shows 
foreach ($programs as $show) 
{ 
echo $show['start'] . ' - ' . $show['end'] . ' : ' . $show['djname'] . '<br />'; 
}

Ignore the golden table, look at the bottom. Why is it tacking on an empty array at the beginning?

Make this change

$djname = $row['djname'];
$start = $row['start'];
$end = $row['end'];
$duration = 1;
$programs = array('start' => $start, 'end' => $end, 'djname' => $djname);

Make this change

$djname = $row['djname'];
$start = $row['start'];
$end = $row['end'];
$duration = 1;
$programs = array('start' => $start, 'end' => $end, 'djname' => $djname); 

Actually, that change does help with the empty array at the beginning, but the end hours are not correct. Also, the last array is duplicated.
