i agree with this completely

there's pseudocode for the application logic in this article --

  Format query output as header and detail lines

too bad you're using php, it's *so* much easier in coldfusion

fyi, there is a way that you can suppress headers in sql, provided that you
generate a sort key (which doesn't print), and provided you use
concatenation to create a "print line" of output, and provided you can use
UNION, which you probably cannot
