                $query_cat = mysqli_query($connection, "SELECT * FROM category WHERE cat_name='$catid'");
                while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query_cat)) {
                    $h1       = $row["h1"];
                    $h2       = $row["h2"];
                    $span     = $row["span"];

you close ur while loop too early, try this

<?php 

                while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query_cat)) {
                    $h1       = $row["h1"];
                    $h2       = $row["h2"];
                    $span     = $row["span"];
                    $catslide = $row["cat_slider"];
                    $ct_name  = $row["cat_name"];
             //}   dont close here
        ?>
        ...
        <?php }} else { ?>//close here

when I am doing this the divs are looping thought which I dotn want it to be done

[lps]

First of all, had you check your database if last data that matching the condition is having values?
As from what I can see from your code, for every rows of data the mysqli_fetch_assoc fetch, you will replace your $h1,$h2 etc with the newly fetched data. So, if the last row of data is having empty data, then all the variable will be set to empty.

got it the condition was not correct catchable

put ur div outside the loop

This makes v. little sense to me.

How many rows are you retrieving? If only one, then you don't need a loop - and I'd add 'LIMIT 1' to the SQL.
If more, then you're overwriting your vars on every iteration of the loop.

Either way, it looks wrong.
