Simon, You can use the same name for your result as in: $query="SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE id='$variable'"; $result=mysql_query($query); $array1=mysql_fetch_array($result);
$query=SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE name='$variable2'"; $result=mysql_query($query); $array2=mysql_fetch_array($result); But use different names for your final results. They're in a form recognized by your php code and will exist for as long as your page exists.
