Question

How do I select in this way:

$sql_result = mysql_query("SELECT 1 FROM myTable WHERE myColumn = 'something' LIMIT 0,1");
if(is_resource($sql_result) && mysql_num_rows($sql_result) > 0 ){
    // how do I select a row here?
}

like i would with this:

$query = "SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE myColumn='something'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    $something = $row['SOMETHING'];
}

Answer 1

this is outdated solution. don’t use mysql_ functions

Method 1. (don’t use me it’s outdated)

$sql_result = mysql_query("SELECT xxx FROM myTable WHERE myColumn = 'something' LIMIT 0,1");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result); 
echo $row['xxx'];

Method 2. (don’t use me it’s outdated)

$sql_result = mysql_query("SELECT xxx FROM myTable WHERE myColumn = 'something' LIMIT 0,1");
$row = mysql_fetch_row($sql_result); 
echo $row[0];

Please mind SELECT 1 FROM table will give you… number 1 every row/
