error in while loop

I have a mySQL table called filterSetup which has 16 records. in the body of the page I loop through the recordset to dynamically create a form.  That works fine.  I see 16 rows. Each row has two text fields: operator1, value1 for row 1, operator2, value2 for row 2, etc.  Again, this part seems to be fine.

On submit is where I am having trouble looping through the recordset, and perhaps I am even going about this whole thing wrong.  But I have added some "alerts" and see that it gets through the first time but doesn't move to the next record.

I know that I should be using mysqli instead of mysql, and that will be my next task when the site is up and running.
