Question

Ok I have a table with a few fields. One of the fields is username. There are many times where the username is the same, for example:

1. • username: bob
   • password: bob
   • report: 1
2. • username: bob
   • password: bob
   • report: 2

I did a SQL statement to select * where username='bob'; but when I do the following PHP function, it will only return the last result:

$thisrow = mysql_fetch_row($result); 

I need to get every field from every row. How should I go about doing this?

$mainsection='auth'; //The name of the table $query1='select * from auth where username='$user'';  $result = mysql_db_query($dbname, $query1) or die('Failed Query of ' . $query1);  //do the query $thisrow=mysql_fetch_row($result); echo 'Study: ' . $thisrow[1] . ' - ' . $thisrow[5]; 

Sorry for such a dumb question. I can’t seem to get the while loops of more than one field working for the life of me.

mysql_fetch_row fetches each row one at a time. In order to retrieve multiple rows, you would use a while loop like this:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {     // code }
