Others have answered your immediate question, but it looks to me like you
should be doing a join and only using one SQL statement instead of sixteen.
Something along the lines of
SELECT DISTINCT(logos.new_cat), cats.*
FROM logos, cats
WHERE logos.format = 3
AND logos.new_cat = cats.id
(Though I'd remove the * personally, it can slow things down. Oh, and you
get $num but never actually use it, and "$row1[en]" should be throwing a
warning - it should be "$row1['en']").
