Question

I have the following bit of code:

$query  = "SELECT * FROM jos_vm_product_details WHERE global_variant_id = '$global_variant_id'";
$result = mysql_query($query);


while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$row['name'];
}

Is it possible to select the $row[‘name’] only where something is matched:

Select $row['name'] WHERE id = $id

Any help would be appreciated

I don’t fully understand your question, but you can limit that in the query to begin with:

$query  = "SELECT * FROM jos_vm_product_details WHERE global_variant_id = '$global_variant_id' AND id = '$id'";
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
$result = mysql_query($query);

Otherwise if you need to limit it in the fetch loop, use something like:

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
  if ($row['id'] == $id) {
    echo $row['name'];
  }
}

But this is better handled in the query’s WHERE clause as in my first example.
