Question

Hi I made a query to a table below and when I tried to get the value in each column , it returns the same value from the first column for all the other columns.
To elaborate
In my database table I have the following:

owner_id = 21
pet_id = 1
name = fluffy
color = green
type = dog
sub_type = boxer
location = LA

however whenever I try to access one column, say the name column, it returns 21 which is the
value in the owner_id column corresponding to that pet_id. I am not sure why this is
happening.

$query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM `petAttributes` where pet_id ='%d'",$p_id);
 $result = performQuery($query);

 $owner_id = stripslashes(mysql_result($result,"owner_id"));
 $pet_id = stripslashes(mysql_result($result,"pet_id"));
 $name = stripslashes(mysql_result($result,"name"));
 $color = stripslashes(mysql_result($result,"color"));
 $type = stripslashes(mysql_result($result,"type"));
 $sub_type = stripslashes(mysql_result($result,"sub_type"));
 $loc = stripslashes(mysql_result($result,"location"));

Information on my environment
PHP Version 5.2.14
MYSQL version 5.0.67

I believe that if you use mysql_result you also have to specify the row index number (row 0 in your case?), before you specify the column.

$name = stripslashes(mysql_result($result, 0, "name"));
