[Resolved] How to identify where they come from..

charles256

I'm am confused. This line:

while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) {

Where does the $row come from? This is a variable, correct, are we able to make them what ever we want? or do they come from some format?
Can I do $whoppers, or $what

If:
$result = mysql_query

that must mean that
$row = mysql_fetch.

thanks🙁

It makes no difference what you name it. I often use list() so that I can have a different variable for each column.

Then I would have to say that is/was the easiest thing
for me today. I have been working on one script (my first true)
since 2 pm today. I still have errors.
LOL
I went bald, drank a 12-pk, threw out the books, went back and got them, turned the pc off, on, off, on.

Almost quit, but can't....does it get easier?

The new error I is this:

parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING

line 5. not sure where that is...anymore ....LOL

<?
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "xxxx", "xxxx");
mysql_select_db("whoppers",$db)";

print("<h2>Got some cash? Items OVER $4000!!!</h2><p>");
$result = mysql_query ('SELECT desc, upc, buyurl, cat, inventory, name, page_url, price,
image_url, category_url, COUNT () AS price FROM whoppers WHERE price = 99.99
GROUP BY name, price HAVING COUNT() > 1 ORDER BY price =>99.99 LIMIT 0,10');

See your other post for the answer on the last error...

Yes it gets easier... Most of your errors will be missing semi-colons and case sensitivity. Once you get the basics the rest is just a bit of research for a solution.

If it makes no difference what we name it, I would assume if you got carried away, it would get confusing? or not really?

What is the list() thing? I lost ya there.
thanks
