When you use mysql_fetch_object(), you get back an object. $object->property access a field. When you use mysql_fetch_array(), you get back an array. $array[index] access the same field. If you'd like, replace mysql_fetch_object with mysql_fetch_array, and use the syntax $row["user_id"]. Either one will work. It should be in the manual under www.php.net/mysql -Ben -----Original Message----- From: SED [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2001 6:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] $row->user_id; Thanks! Tell me though, what does the following mean or should I ask how does it work? $row->user_id; Is it somehow relate to the following? $row["user_id"]; I tried to look for this in the manual but without any luck... perhaps I'm going blind ;) SED -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Munoz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 17. janúar 2001 01:46 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] MySQL - How to transfer a query resault into a variable? http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-object.php Modified example from the manual above... <?php mysql_connect ($host, $user, $password); $result = mysql_db_query ("database", "select * from table"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_object ($result)) { // save database fields into variables here $user_id = $row->user_id; $name = $row->name; // print them out if you want, or store them in an array to return if this is a function print ("<a href=user_details.php?user_id=$user_id>$name</a><br>\n"); } mysql_free_result ($result); ?> -Ben -----Original Message----- From: SED [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2001 5:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] MySQL - How to transfer a query resault into a variable? Hi, Lets say I have columns e.g. | name | address | phone | I want to make a list of all the names and put the result into a HTML page where each name is a link. When the name is clicked (the link), it will open another HTML page with full information (name, address and phone). I know how to send the query to list the names (and into a formatted HTML-file), but I don't know how to put each name into a variable or a link for the next step. Can you point me to functions I should focus at or even a solution?
