Hi Shantanu
To be honest you'd be far better off doing this manually, rather than using someone
elses code - quite important bits and pieces of sql and db access logic which you'll
need to learn, but ....

This is php telling you that the variable is of the array type, ie: it is a variable
containing many indexed values.
BTW, have you changed the setidentifier() and settable() values to the correct ones
for your db ? (just checking).

A handy utility function is var_dump(). This will echo out the contents of any
variable type. So to display the contents of your $results_array variable you would
do:-
<?php
echo "<pre>";
var_dump($results_array);
echo"</pre>";
?>
That'll show you the contents of the array and what its structure looks like.
Displaying it in a controlled form is just a matter of finding out the structure of
the array and looping through it using one of php's many many loop constructs / array
access functions.
Have a read about arrays on www.php.net - they are very useful once you get the hang
of them ... ;-)
