In PHP I'm doing something like this: $dbh = new PDO ("sqlite:mydb"); $resorg = $dbh->query ("select * from my_table where absid='$PTR_org'"); $orgs = $resorg->fetch (PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); $organisation = $orgs["name"]; $address = $orgs["address"]; I never use the column number. -- -- tim _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
