Question

I am having some difficulty running some SQL code.

What I am trying to do is, find a row that contains the correct username, and then get a value from that correct row.

This is my SQL in the php:

mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE joined='$username' GET name")

As you can see, it looks for a username in users and then once found, it must GET a value from the correct row.

How do I do that?

You need some additional PHP code (a call to mysql_fetch_array) to process the result resource returned by MySQL.

$result = mysql_query("SELECT name FROM users WHERE joined='$username'");

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

echo $row['name'];
