Re: Only 1 Query Result...help.

alright. that part is pretty much finished up. I've run into another curiosity/problem in writing another part of the photo system. I want to find the largest ID in the db so that I can make sure of when the person clicking through is at the end of the album here's my query: $query = "SELECT MAX(picid) FROM pics"; $result = mysql_query($query,$conn); I'm a little bit unsure of how to pull this data out though(i was thinking mysql_fetch_array again). My first thought was: $max_id = extract(mysql_fetch_array($result)). Can anyone help out? -chris- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip Olson" <philip@cornado.com> To: "Dave Watkinson" <d.watkinson@mightymatch.com> Cc: "Chris Cocuzzo" <cuzo@mediaone.net>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2001 2:07 AM Subject: RE: [PHP]Only 1 Query Result...help. > > On Tue, 16 Oct 2001, Dave Watkinson wrote: > > i don't think it's wise to create an array and fill it with one element > > > > i would use mysql_fetch_row($result) > > > > just my tuppence worth ;-) > > I don't see the difference, both are arrays with _row being enumerated. > Perhaps you meant mysql_result().
