By the way I have time this but what is happen and maybe this will clear up things.

That certainly made things clear. :-)

I only calling this first myrow call titles. It's not going on to the other two. Now in my php page I have this... $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result); $row; Now this doesn't work.

No kidding. What is the line "$row;" supposed to do exactly?

But this does. $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result); $title = $myrow[title]; $format = $myrow[format]; $category =$myrow[category];

Yes, this looks better. You should place your array keys in quotes, such as $myrow["title"]. I don't see how this relates at all to your example above.

So want I wanted to do but I am see you can was to make $row be called from db_info.inc so that if lets say I wanted to add ratings I can add it to the db_info.inc.

It's best to either include your code and reference file names or leave them out entirely. You sound like you assume we are looking at your screen and know what db_info.inc is.

The reasoning for this is about 50 pages and I am getting tried of change each one I like to be able to change just one file. You know make it easier. Better design.

I think you have the right idea. I really have no idea what the question is, but you should maybe consider the include() function to help you out. For example, you could have a script fetch_row.inc like this: $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result); $title = $myrow["title"]; $format = $myrow["format"]; $category =$myrow["category"]; Then every time you wanted to fetch a row from a result set consisting of these columns, you could just do this: include("/path/to/fetch_row.inc"); Maybe that helps? I'm not really understanding what code you are repeating 50 times. Happy hacking. Chris
