Sure: while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $usrLevel = $row['userlevel']; $member = $row['member']; $pswd = $row['pw']; } //end -while loop Now $usrLevel, $member and $pw are available as variables taken from this array to use as you please in you php scripts! Russ Hi there, Firstly a big thanks to those who pointed me in the direction of 'PHP-fast and easy web development'. it was/is a great book, and I have learnt loads on the past week. Anyhoo... I have a php page and included the line: $sql = "SELECT * FROM $table_name WHERE member = \"$member\" AND pw = \"$pw\" "; Now I have a third column called 'userlevel'. I have a cookie that activates on successfully matching the member and pw fields from a form on the previous page. make sense? How can I tell the page to use the userlevel colunm too? Here is the relevent section to my code... can anyone point me in teh rigth direction please??? ============================ $sql = "SELECT * FROM $table_name WHERE member = \"$member\" AND pw = \"$pw\" "; $result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("Can't execute query."); $num = mysql_numrows($result); if (($num != 0) && ($userlevel == 1)) { $cookie_name = "auth"; $cookie_value = "ok"; $cookie_expire = ""; $cookie_domain =""; setcookie($cookie_name, $cookie_value, $cookie_expire, "/", $cookie_domain, 0); $display_block =" <p><B>Secret area:</B> <UL> <LI><a href=\"secreta.php\">secret page a</A> <LI><a href=\"secretb.php\">secret page b</A> <LI><a href=\"secretc.php\">secret page c</A> <LI><a href=\"secretd.php\">secret page d</A> <LI><a href=\"secreteb.php\">secret page e</A> </UL> "; } else { header("Location: http://www.mypage.com"); exit; } #-------------------------------------------------------# "Believe nothing - consider everything" Russ Michell Anglia Polytechnic University Webteam http://gertrude.sipu.anglia.ac.uk/webteam r.j.michell@anglia.ac.uk +44 (0)1223 363271 ext 2331 www.theruss.com #-------------------------------------------------------#
