This is what I am using here:

$db = DB::connect("mysql://$username:$password@$hostName/$databaseName");

if (DB::iserror($db))
        die($db->getMessage());

$sql = "SELECT idnum, title, DATE_FORMAT(date, '%W, %M %D \@ %l:%i%p'),
news FROM newslist ORDER BY idnum DESC";

$query = $db->query($sql);
if (DB::iserror($query))
        die($db->getMessage());

while ($query->fetchInto($row)) {
                echo "\n<table>" .
                        "\n<tr>\n\t<td>$row[1] ID#$row[0]</td></tr>" .
                        "\n<tr>\n\t<td>Added $row[2]</td></tr>" .
                        "\n<tr>\n\t<td>$row[3]</td></tr>" .
                        "\n</table>";
        }


I took out all the font formatting and stuff so its not so cluttered here.
but it works just dandy, although I know what you are talkng about, when
using the other way to connect it returns the name as whatever (like a
COUNT(*) does). Although, I never knew the AS var thing, so that will help
me with other stuff down the road!

I know this is nothing fancy, but it is just what I've been wanting to do
since before I started learning php and mysql. :)
