Question

I have a table where is a row called ID and I want to save that ID to variable that I can use later on the same PHP file. How can I do it?

<?php
include 'config.php';

// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("$dbhost", "$dbuser", "$dbpass")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$dbname")or die("cannot select DB");

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * auto_matkat");

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result)
  $IND = $row['IND'];
  echo $IND;
  }

mysql_close($con);
?>

In case CoDe ADDict’s code is a bit complex for you this one may be a bit simpler:

mysql_connect("$dbhost","$dbuser","$dbpass")or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("$dbname")or die(mysql_error());
     $query="SELECT * FROM auto_matkat";
$result=mysql_query($query)or die(mysql_error());
$num=mysql_numrows($result);
mysql_close();
$i=0;
while($i<$num){
$id[$id]=mysql_result($result,$i,"id");
}
echo $id;
