If you know what your result set is going to be, it would be easier to
do something like this:
list($firstname,$lastname,$midinitial,$preferredname,$address1,$address2
,$city,$state,$zip) = mysql_fetch_row($result);
Or if you are returning more then one row, and want to loop through the
results:
while(list($firstname,$lastname,$midinitial,$preferredname,$address1,$ad
dress2,$city,$state,$zip) = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
// process the results as necessary...
}

Hi,
I'm a little stumped here, maybe I haven't had enough coffee yet.......
Anyway, I have a lot of SQL queries that return one row if there is a
match
and instead of having to write out something like this:
$firstname = $row["firstname"];
$lastname = $row["lastname"];
$midinitial = $row["midinitial"];
$preferredname = $row["preferredname"];
$address1 = $row["address1"];
$address2 = $row["address2"];
$city = $row["city"];
$state = $row["state"];
$zip = $row["zip"];
I thought I'd loop through the result and and get the info out like
this:
$nrows = mysql_num_rows($result);
$nfields = mysql_num_fields($result);
$rowarray = mysql_fetch_row($result);
for ($i=0; $i<$nfields; $i++){
$fname = mysql_fieldname($result,$i);
$val = $rowarray[$i];
$fname = $val;
}
and then later in the page reference the values using <?=$address1?>
Problem is this isn't working. If I echo the varibles to the page they
will
print out but they wont show up in the <?=$address1?> tags.
I tried setting the varibles to global and that still doesn't seem to
work.
I know I'm missing something really simple and basic here. If someone
could
give me a push in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Robert
