Thanks Stephen,
Nice code!
you mentioned ... - to avoid your code assuming that you will just get one
record back
But what about the case where you are deliberately just showing one record as
in ---- FIND ONE PERSON like---- where ID = 101 ?
do you still need to loop through when you just selected/displayed 1 ITEM?
Q: How do I display the columns without a loop in this 1 record case...?
these fail - so what will work?
echo $results["First"];
echo $results["First"][0]; ???
echo $results["First"][1]; ???
