Question

Yes, I am aware this is a basic question, but I am learning PHP.

   $sqlquery = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE data = " . trim($array[$elementnum]);
   echo $sqlquery; //Returns correctly
   $queryresult = mysql_query($sqlquery);  
   var_dump($queryresult);               // returns false
   mysql_fetch_row($queryresult);      //Doesn't Work

How Do I do this properly? I want to select data from a table where a certain column is equal to the value of my array at a particular element. The array and element num are both variables

Answer 1

var_dump($queryresult);               // returns false
mysql_fetch_row($queryresult);      //Doesn't Work

Was the var_dump returning false a bit of a give away?

It means that your query did not work!
