If you wish to select a field value in a SQL statement like: $sql = "SELECT uid FROM global_lookup WHERE id='$fid'"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $db) or die($sql."->".mysql_error()); This is quicker: return @mysql_result($result,0); than: $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); return $row["uid"]; In both cases, 'uid' is returned if it exists, otherwise NULL. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-result.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+26082 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+26082 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+26082
