I have a code like so.

function tutorial_type() {

$output = '';

$select_types = db_query("SELECT vid, name, description FROM {vocabulary} ORDER BY weight DESC");
while ($termshow = db_fetch_object($select_types)) {

$newid = $termshow->vid;

echo $newid;

$output .= 'vid.'">'.$termshow->name.' [0]
'.$termshow->description.'
';

$result = db_query("SELECT tid, name FROM {term_data} WHERE tid=$newid");
while ($term = db_fetch_object($result)) {

$output .= 'tid.'">'.$term->name.' ';

}

unset($newid);

$output .= '
';

}

return $output;

}

Problem is it gets the correct id for this part.

$output .= 'vid.'">'.$termshow->name.' [0]
'.$termshow->description.'
';

But this one

$newid = $termshow->vid;

echo $newid;

is echoing vid: 65 even though there is no fields number 65 only 6 and 5.

First when posting code it helps to place it in code tags like this <code>your code</code> so it easier to read.

As for your problem, I think the code is working fine. If you replace the echo $newid with drupal_set_message("The vid is $newid"); you should see two seperate messages. Since your code is echoing $newid, it echos the first one followed by the second one with nothing inbetween so you are seeing them "pasted" together when they appear on the screen.
