Solved: More MySQL Help

[lumentec]

I'm just trying to retrieve some values from my MySQL database, but all I get is "Resource ID #2".

Here's the PHP code, without the specifics like username, password, and database name.

<?php

$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","user","password");

if (!$connection)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }


mysql_select_db("database",$connection);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM user");

echo $result;





?>

Just a simple bit of code you need What you're doing is printing the ID of the query and what you need is to fetch the results:

while ($arr = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

// Copy the info to separate arrays/variables here

}

mysql_fetch_array() returns an array with both numeric and associative keys, but $arr will be replaced with the new values each time it loops round to get another row. To solve this, you need to extract the values from the array and put each column in its own array. Say your columns are called ID, name and email.

$x = 0;
while ($arr = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

$id[$x] = $arr['id'];

$username[$x] = $arr['username'];

$email[$x] = $arr['email'];

$x++;

}

Now you have each row stored in three arrays, accessable by a single numeric key.

HTH

I don't know if you spotted the error I made earlier, but I forgot to add 1 to $x each time it looped (my post is edited with the correct code).
