Question

Normally when you iterate through a mysql result you do something like this:

    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        echo $row["some argument"];
    }

How do you do this with a for loop? This would be helpful so I can iterate through a certain portion of my results. I’m looking for something like:

 for($i = 5; $i < 10; $i++){
    echo $row[$i]["some argument"];
 }

Thanks!

EDIT 1

Just to clarify, I need to loop through a portion of the results, which may mean rows 5 to 10 for example.

Also my result is a portion of rows from a table, not a table in it’s entirety, so I would think that changing the my_sql query should not be a part of the answer.

Answer 1

I believe you could use the mysql_result() like this:

// Do your query here
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM your_table");

for($i = 5; $i < 10; $i++){
   echo mysql_result($result, $i, "some argument");
}

Edit Noticed that my PHP-syntax was a bit off, corrected now.
