Subject: [PHP-DB] define variable by querying MySQL


hello list. i have a problem that is relatively simple, but I can't seem to
figure it out.
is there any way to define a variable by querying a MySQL database?
here's an example of code I tried using:


my_name";
}
mysql_close($link);
?>
";
";
?>







it kept coming up with the following :


Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or
`T_NUM_STRING' in c:\apache group\apache\htdocs\page.php on line 5



i can't figure out what to do, so if anyone can assist me, i'd be greatful.
I have a feeling it's something with some quotes but i can't figure out
which ones.


Thanks a lot,
