Following on from a question earlier today this answer was given to read the data into an array and separate it to print vehicle type and then some data for each vehicle.

<?php
$sql = "SELECT * FROM apparatus ORDER BY vehicleType";
$getSQL = mysql_query($sql);
// transform the result set:
$data = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($getSQL)) {
$data[$row['vehicleType']][] = $row;    
}
?>
<?php foreach ($data as $type => $rows): ?>
<h2><?php echo $type?></h2>
<ul>
  <?php foreach ($rows as $vehicleData):?>
    <li><?php echo $vehicleData['name'];?></li>
  <?php endforeach ?>
  </ul>
<?php endforeach ?>

This is almost perfect for what I want to do but I need to print out two columns from the database ie ford and mondeo before going into the second foreach loop. I've tried print $rows['model'] and all the other combinations I can think of but that doesn't work. Any help much appreciated
