MySQL - PHP - Using while() display even with NULLS

Question

I have a table and I am displaying its contents using PHP and a while(); I have about three fields in the table that are NULL but can be change, but I want them to still display all the results in my table.

But, it only shows the records with data in EVERY field. Anyone how I can display it? I get a count of the table and it gives me 2, but only displays one.

Any thoughts?

UPDATE ADDED CODE:

<h3>Viewing All Updates</h3>
<h4>Below are all active updates for COTC</h4>
<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
                <th>Site Name</th>
                <th>Page</th>
                <th>Flag</th>
                <th>Date Sent</th>
                <th>View</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <?php
    $sql    = "SELECT sname,page_name,date_submitted,u_id,clients.c_id,flag,completed FROM updates INNER JOIN clients ON updates.c_id = clients.c_id INNER JOIN pages ON updates.page = pages.p_id ORDER BY date_submitted DESC";
    $query  = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
        $completed = $row['completed'];
        if($completed == 1){
                print '<tr class="quiet">'; 
        }else{
                print '<tr>'; 
        }
                print '<td>'.$row['sname'].'</td>'; 
                print '<td>'.$row['page_name'].'</td>'; 
                print '<td>'.$row['flag'].'</td>';
                print '<td>'.$row['date_submitted'].'</td>';
                print '<td class="center"><a href="?c=displayupdate&id='.$row['u_id'].'" title="View update for '.$row['sname'].'" id="'.$row['u_id'].'"><img src="images/page_edit.png" alt="Edit entry!" /></a></td>';
        print '</tr>';
    }
?>
    </tbody>
</table>

Your PHP is correctly printing every row returned. I believe your problem is in the query.

SELECT sname,page_name,date_submitted,u_id,clients.c_id,flag,completed 
FROM updates INNER JOIN clients ON updates.c_id = clients.c_id 
             INNER JOIN pages ON updates.page = pages.p_id
ORDER BY date_submitted DESC

This query will only return a row in updates if it has a matching one in clients and a matching one in pages. If you want the clients or the pages joins to be optional (a updates row that has c_id or page of NULL will still return) change them from INNER JOINs to LEFT JOINs.
