If you're using extract with mysql_fetch_assoc, and only grabbing one line you can nestle it: extract(mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table"))); If you're doing this in a while statement it will fail. Using something like... $mysql_data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM everywhere"); while (extract(mysql_fetch_assoc($mysql_data))) { .. } ...will not work, while using... while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($mysql_data)) { extract($row); ... } ...will. The only reason I find as an explination for this is annoyance. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.extract.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+25509 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+25509 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+25509
