Try using more variables to make life a little easier to parse: $colname = $_FORM['form'] $query = "select {$colname} from structure"; $result = mysql_query($query); while (($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) !== false) {

}
Very dangerous. $colname can be anything, e.g. "mysql.user.password colname FROM mysql.user #"
