Hi everyone, it's me again :-/
I'm having a whole lot of trouble figuring out how to return a result
from a query such as in this code example:
function LearnIt(){
$query = "SELECT learn_id FROM mydatabase ";
$result = mysql_query($query);
return $result;
}
I already achieved a connection to the database with no problem, to
verify I wrote this query also:
function GetMeARow(){
$query = "SELECT learn_id FROM mydatabase ";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo $row[learn_id];
}
With the latter, It works as expected, echoing the 2 rows I have in the
DB, but I'm trying to understand the method used in the former.
