Well after you SELECT the data and run the query, you can use a few
functions, it depends on your database type?

For example, for MySQL, you can use mysql_fetch_array() which will take your
data and store it in an array, both numeric and associative.

i.e. $data = mysql_fetch_array($result) can be accessed like

$data['column_name']
$data[column_number]

You can also fetch an array only as an associative (mysql_fetch_assoc) or
numeric (mysql_fetch_row). And simply if selecting multiple rows, use a loop

while($data = mysql_fetch_array())...
