Question

this query matches with two fields in the database. How can i grab both of the names from the DB?

        $product_q = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `templates` WHERE `cat_id` = '$catid'") or die("<br/><br/>".mysql_error());
        $product_array = mysql_fetch_array($product_q);
        $product_name = $product_array['name']; //got the first results 'name'
        $product_name2 = $product_name[1]; // attempted to get the 2nd 'name'.

Answer 1

You must loop through the results. Like so:

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($product_q) )
{
    $product_name = $row['name'];
    echo $product_name;
}
