Hi,

I think you will need to unserialize the values after retrieving them from db.

If you are using mysql_fetch_row it returns your data as an array ... thus the array in your output.

You should manage your database output before writing it to the html page.
Something like this ...

$arr = mysql_fetch_row( $result );
$str = implode( " ", $arr );
print $str;
$arr = mysql_fetch_row( $result );
$str = implode( " ", $arr );
print $str;

You don't really say what is not working, or how?
I'm assuming your database query is giving you results,
That the results have been serialized as demonstrated above,
And you're just still having trouble unserializing the results and getting them into your <td> fields ...

<?php
session_start();
include('database.php');
$result = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM  autoalto_contractor"  );
 
while( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) ) {
  $service_category = unserialize( $row['service_category'] );
  $service_type = unserialize( $row['service_type'] );
  $services = unserialize( $row['services'] );
 
print <<<endline
  <tr>
    <td width="5%"></td><!--??? WHY THIS width="5%" ???-->
    <td>$service_category</td>
    <td>$service_type</td>
    <td>$services</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="5%"></td><!--??? colspan="3" below ???-->
    <td colspan="4" style="background-repeat: repeat-x;" background="images/dot.jpg" height="0" width="300"></td>
  </tr>

mysql_close();
