Re: Informix Question (Still need help,please)

B, Do your first query, then run this (for one record returned). while($row = ifx_fetch_row($query_result_id)) { for(reset($row); $fieldname=key($row); next($row)) { $$fieldname = $row[$fieldname]; } } Do your second query. The while statement will set each field value equal to the field name. Dan > > What I want to do is create another query from some of the data from another > > one.
