Question

I am querying a database to get 6 values in my params table suing this;

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM params");
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {

    $param = $row['value'] ;

 } 

is this right, if so is their away i can add one to the variable name each time round so i get $param1, $param2….

I dont want to have to send a query to the database for each param, is it possible to get them all like this?

Answer 1

The simpliest way is to use an array:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM params");

$param = array();
$i = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    $param[$i] = $row['value'] ;

    $i++;
}

Than you get $param[0], $param[1], …
