Are you talking about a specific row in the mySQL result set? If so, 
use the mysql_result() function. However, this function only returns 
one column at a time, so you'd have to loop, something like:

    $i=0;
    unset($row);
    while ($Value = mysql_result($ResultId, 4, $i)) {
       $row[] = $Value;
       $i++;
    }

Note I used row # 4 in the mysql_result() call instead of 5, since 
(I'm 89% sure) row counts are 0-based.

I'm also pretty sure you CANNOT use mysql_result() to position to the 
desired row, then use mysql_fetch_array() or a similar function to 
fetch the whole row.

See

        http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-result.php

for more info.

You may be able to use the mysql LIMIT functionality to do what you want:

        $Query = 'SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY name LIMIT 4,1';

This grabs the fifth (again, row counts are 0-based) row. See

        http://www.mysql.com/doc/S/E/SELECT.html

Incidentally, your original statement

        $row[5]=mysql_fetch_row($result);

would simply create a 1-element array $row, with the array index 5. 
If this was your first fetch statement, $row[5] would still contain 
the first row of the result set.
