Question

I’m quite new to sql and I’m having trouble writing this
i have a table like this

id   name
1   A
2   B
3   C
1   D
1   E
1   F
...

I want a query that will return to me the names of the ID i give it… say if i ask for 1, i want it to return A D E F
i tried this in PHP:

$result3 = mysql_query("SELECT name FROM table WHERE id='1'", $link);

    $pfilearray=array();
    $pfilearray=mysql_fetch_assoc($result3);

    print_r($pfilearray);

but this gives me only the first name found with id 1, what am i missing?

Answer 1

You should iterate the whole result set using while() and mysql_fetch_assoc(). example:

while(($rs=mysql_fetch_assoc($result3))!=null)
{
    $pfilearray[]=$rs['name'];
}
print_r($pfilearray);
