hi, I am having trouble with some data i am retrieving from a mysql database. after a query i am using mysql_fetch_array in a while loop to retrieve data. ie;- $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); once i have a $row i am getting relevant data i want using;- $data = $myrow["field_name"]; where "field_name" actually exists but may not be used (null). the problem is that if it is not used then warnings are generated, even if i do;- if($myrow["field_name"] != null){ $data = $myrow["field_name"]; } it still generates warnings. can any one help? thanks in advance scott -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
