Question

In my database I have entires which have a Key called ‘status’ and they have a non-numerical value (such A, B, Q)

I want to use a PHP script to echo something different depending on the value

Right now my page just selects the value of the key.

Edit:

Sorry guys. I have tried this:

while( $notify = mysql_fetch_array($resultSet) ) { 
    echo '</td><td>'.$notify['status'].'</td></tr>'; 
}

As an alternative to @Andre’s solution, you can also do the transform directly in SQL:

SELECT CASE status WHEN 'A' THEN 'Approved'
                   WHEN 'B' THEN 'Basic'
                   WHEN 'Q' THEN 'Questionable'
                   ELSE 'Other'
       END AS status_word
FROM mytable;
