If I understand what you're asking, just write a simple query.

$picked = <your_selection>;
$sql = "SELECT * FROM <your_table> WHERE cat = '$picked'";

$result = mssql_query($sql) or die ("My_Error_Message");
$row = mssql_fetch_assoc($result);

$id = $row['id'];
$name = $row['name'];
$cat = $row['cat'];

echo $id; // shows your record id on the screen.

Hi all,

My DB has the following columns: id, name ,cat. I want to select a cat
i.e. cat=zzz   when the query is finished I should see a specific record
within this cat which is defined by  id, like id=yyy
Any idea how to do this? Is there a function or something like record
pointer in MySQL ?

cheers
