Re: selecting one item at a time from mysql

Richard, Just put this query in the WHILE loop of the previous query: $query0 = "Select * FROM newcustomers"; $result0 = " mysql_query($query0) or die("query0 failed"); while($myrow0 = mysql_fetch_array($result0)) { > $query1 = "SELECT * FROM ipaddress LIMIT 1"; > $result1 = mysql_query ($query1) or > die("Error in query"); > while($myrow1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1)) > { > $ipaddress = $myrow1["ip"]; } Your outer query runs only once, then the inner query runs once for each instance that meets your "assign an IP" criteria. It pulls exactly one IP consistently, no matter how many customer records are part of the batch. > It works just fine if I don't have more than one person signing up at a > time.

Sounds great - what else do you have the script doing? J!M ps: 8-), Do > I make any sense. Do > I make any sense. Do > I make any sense. Do > I make any sense. Do > I make a ny sense.
