Hi,
I think this is what you are trying to do. You get a record back that
has seveal fields and you want to reference those fields indiviually.
This is what I do in this example (which shows people information) and
present in HTML table
********************************EXAMPLE********************************
$result = mysql_query("select * from ledenlijst order by naam",$db);
if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
print("<table border=\"0\" >\n");
print("<tr><td bgcolor=\"#990066\"><a
href=all.php?insert=yes>Toevoegen<<a></td>\n");
print("<td bgcolor=\"#990066\"><b>Naam</b></td>\n");
print("<td bgcolor=\"#990066\"><b>Voornaam</b></td>\n");
print("<td bgcolor=\"#990066\"><b>Straat</b></td>\n");
print("<td bgcolor=\"#990066\"><b>Postcode</b></td>\n");
print("<td bgcolor=\"#990066\"><b>Woonplaats</b></td>\n");
print("<td bgcolor=\"#990066\"><b>Telefoon</b></td>\n");
print("<td bgcolor=\"#990066\"><b>Gsm</b></td>\n");
print("<td bgcolor=\"#990066\"><b>E-Mail</b></td>\n");
print("<td bgcolor=\"#990066\"><b>Brevet</b></td></tr>\n");
do
{
print("<tr><td bgcolor=\"#0000cc\">");
print("<a href=all.php?id=$myrow[0]&update=yes>update</a> / <a
href=all.php?id=$myrow[0]&delete=yes>delete</a>");
print("\n");
print("</td><td bgcolor=\"#0000cc\">");
print($myrow[1]);
print("\n");
print("</td><td bgcolor=\"#0000cc\">");
print($myrow[2]);
print("\n");
print("</td><td bgcolor=\"#0000cc\">");
print($myrow[3]);
print("\n");
print("</td><td bgcolor=\"#0000cc\">");
print($myrow[4]);
print("\n");
print("</td><td bgcolor=\"#0000cc\">");
print($myrow[5]);
print("\n");
print("</td><td bgcolor=\"#0000cc\">");
print($myrow[6]);
print("\n");
print("</td><td bgcolor=\"#0000cc\">");
print($myrow[9]);
print("\n");
print("</td><td bgcolor=\"#0000cc\">");
print($myrow[7]);
print("\n");
print("</td><td bgcolor=\"#0000cc\">");
print($myrow[8]);
print("\n");
print("</td></tr>\n");
}
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_row($result));
print("</table>\n");
}
else
{
print("<b>Sorry, no Records were found!</b>");
}

Subject: [PHP-DB] MySQL: How to properly extract fields from retrieved
single record ???
Hi gang
Still working on this DB for my gameclan.... not that it's essential
what
it's for... and be warned: Never worked with any form of DB in PHP
before I
began this project, so I'm a total n00b at these MySQL commands (and the
manual for MySQL is by far nowhere near as good as the PHP one).
Anyways, I'm retrieving a single record from the DB table, and then,
because of the way the data needs to be displayed and manipulated, need
to
extract every single field from that record as a seperate value.
I tried this:
$num2edit = $_POST['edit'];
$link = mysql_connect($host,$username,$password)
or die('Could not connect : '.mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($database) or die('Could not select database');
$query = "SELECT
countryNum,country,nw,gov,strat,spy,troops,jets,turrets,tanks,ally,owner
FROM a2a WHERE countryNum=$num2edit";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$countryNum = mysql_result($result,1,'countryNum');
$country = mysql_result($result,1,'country');
$nw = mysql_result($result,1,'nw');
$gov = mysql_result($result,1,'gov');
$strat = mysql_result($result,1,'strat');
$spy = mysql_result($result,1,'spy');
$troops = mysql_result($result,1,'troops');
$jets = mysql_result($result,1,'jets');
$turrets = mysql_result($result,1,'turrets');
$tanks = mysql_result($result,1,'tanks');
$ally = mysql_result($result,1,'ally');
$owner = mysql_result($result,1,'owner');
/* Free resultset */
mysql_free_result($result);
/* Closing connection */
mysql_close($link);
But all it gives me are errors like this:
Warning: mysql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result
resource in E:\web\mpe\a2aedit.php on line 350
Warning: mysql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result
resource in E:\web\mpe\a2aedit.php on line 351

resource in E:\web\mpe\a2aedit.php on line 360
Warning: mysql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result
resource in E:\web\mpe\a2aedit.php on line 361
Obviously, the first mysql_result line is line 350 in the full code.
I've
also tried changing the row number to 0, but results in the same errors.
I can't find any decent reference on the web that shows how to do this -
field extraction - when there's only the single record. So I've been
mixing
code from various places. And I don't even know if it retrieves the
right
record, or any record at all (how do I test that?).
Any help is highly appreciated :)
TIA
Rene
