mysql_data_seek - have read manual!

[Nixon]

Hi, can anybody give me some information on mysql_data_seek. I have read the manual and being the simple soul that I am I cannot fully understand it. Here is what I have:

mysql_query("select outwarusername from outwarinfo order by points limit 5");

Now I want to be able to select each of the values sepratly so that i can then use them in a link like this:

<a href="deductpoint.php?username=$username1>$username1</a>

Please can somebody explain?

Thanks, Nixon.

you can do that without a data seek

$sql = mysql_query("select outwarusername from outwarinfo order by points limit 5");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
echo "<a href=\"deductpoint.php?username=$row[outwarusername]\">$row[outwarusername]</a>";

}
