Question

I have a query that I put in a variable called $myQuery:

$myQuery = mysql_query(...);

Then I would like to extract the data using a while loop. The thing is that I do not want to start with the first record (first row), but with the second one. I do not manage to find how to do that…

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($myQuery)) {  
    ???
}

Then, later on I would like to use the variables from the first record (first row) of that query. Again I do not find how to do that. Thank you in advance for your replies. Cheers. Marc.

Answer 1

$first_record = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($myQuery)) {  
    if(count($first_record) == 0) {
        $first_record = $row;
    } else {
        // not the first record
    }
}
