Question

I want to echo out one field from my database so I do not want to use a while loop.
The database table is called index and the field that I want to echo is called title.

What is wrong with this code as the output is just blank.

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM index");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($sql);
echo $row['title'];

Answer 1

You may want to add LIMIT or check your database against something

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM index WHERE id='$someid' LIMIT 1");
