Thats it, I used the array solution which means I can directly call the
specific variable outside the while loop. thanks again.

Hi Martin.
... why don't you use an array ??
$variable_row[$row['id']] = $row['description'];
So you can access it with:
$variable_row[1] // and it gives you the description.
OR (to answer you question =8) try this one:
$varname = "variable_row".$row['id'];
$$varname = $row['description'];
Now you can access the vars as you described before.
Hope this helps.
Greetinx,
Mike
