mysql_result() is used when you know the row number of the item you 
want to retrive from your table.

mysql_query() is used to get all results from a query, so you can loop 
thru an array of them or something.

 that mysql_query() is supposed to be better in the performance. Perhaps

Hi,

put single quotes around $serviceid.

$service_type = mysql_result($sql2, 1);
