strange behavior in foreach statement (extra loops)

I have the following code:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM events",$db);
$rowcheck = mysql_num_rows($result);
    $allevents = array();
    echo "<br>Display events: ($rowcheck)";
    $i = '0';
while ($row_user = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
    $allevents[] = $row_user;

    foreach ($allevents as $val) {
        $eventID = $val['event_ID'];

        echo "<br>$eventID";

        echo "End foreach.";
    }  // end foreach events as val


    echo "End While.";
} // end while
print_r($allevents);

And get the following output:

Display events: (3)  
ID 1 End foreach.End While.  
ID 1 End foreach.  
ID 2 End foreach.End While.  
ID 1 End foreach.  
ID 2 End foreach.  
ID 3 End foreach.End While.

   [eventhostfamily] => 28  
   [eventturn] => 462  
   [char1] => 1  
   [char2] => 0 
 ) 
)

For some reason that I cannot fathom, its giving me some weird loop where it returns the 1st row, then the first two rows, then the first three rows.

What am I doing wrong?

You are appending each row from mysql to your array and then output the whole array. Move the foreach loop out of your while:

while ($row_user = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
    $allevents[] = $row_user;
    echo "End While.";
} // end while

foreach ($allevents as $val) {
    $eventID = $val['event_ID'];

    echo "<br>$eventID";

    echo "End foreach.";
}  // end foreach events as val
