You have probably done what I have done many times and created an
infinite loop. Here is an example of one way to create one:
$n = 1;
while ($n <= mysql_num_rows($result))
        {
        list($var1, $var2, $var3) = mysql_fetch_row($result);
        echo $var1 . $var2 . $var3;
        }
This could easily be fixed by adding $n++; before the closing bracket,
or using a for loop:
for ($n = 1; $n <= mysql_num_rows($result); $n++)
        {
        list($var1, $var2, $var3) = mysql_fetch_row($result);
        echo $var1 . $var2 . $var3;
        }
