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. :) Bryan On Mon, 30 Sep 2002, Jason Young wrote: |No problem! | |Refresh MY memory here..
