If I understand what you're asking, just write a simple query. $picked = ; $sql = "SELECT * FROM WHERE cat = '$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 y

Okay, in your first post you said you were selecting by category, now you're saying you are selecting by ID and want all corresponding records that have the same category as the selected ID. Which way are you trying to do this?? On 7/5/07, elk dolk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: O.K. the id colum

[PHP-DB] PDO and MS Sql Server

I'm using PHP 5.1. The documentation for PDO doesn't list MS Sql server as one of the drivers that support PDO but there is a php_pdo_mssql.dll which seems to work so I'm using that. I need to get the id of a new record just inserted. I can't use lastInsertId() as I get a message saying it's

Thanks for replying. According to the PDO doco: "If the database driver supports it, you may also bind parameters for output as well as input." So maybe this driver doesn't support it? I don't know. I'll try and get the stored proc to return the value, but not sure how I'll capture that yet.
