fetching info

[astralaaron]

Just need to know how to fetch just one cell of information from a mysql database and store it in a variablethanks.

I suppose you understand a bit about connection to databases.<?php$con = mysql_connect("server","user","password");mysql_select_db("database name",$con);$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table_name");$q = mysql_fetch_array($query);// the following line stores the table cell 'row name' into the variable $n$n = $q['row name']

That's not very efficient. If you're only interested in one field it's a waste of resources to get everything.$query = mysql_query("SELECT field_name FROM table_name");

Besides the mysql_fetch_array() function, there's also mysql_fetch_object(), which I personally prefer, specially if you work with classes.
