How to fetch data(s) using mysql_fetch_assoc ?
mysql_fetch_assoc — Fetch a result row as an associative array
<?php
$conn
= mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_user", "mysql_password");
if (!
$conn) {
echo "Unable to connect to DB: " . mysql_error();
exit;
}
if (!
mysql_select_db("mydbname")) {
echo "Unable to select mydbname: " . mysql_error();
exit;
}
$sql = "SELECT id as userid, fullname, userstatus
FROM sometable
WHERE userstatus = 1";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if (!
$result) {
echo "Could not successfully run query ($sql) from DB: " . mysql_error();
exit;
}
if (
mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {
echo "No rows found, nothing to print so am exiting";
exit;
}
// While a row of data exists, put that row in $row as an associative array
// Note: If you're expecting just one row, no need to use a loop
// Note: If you put extract($row); inside the following loop, you'll
// then create $userid, $fullname, and $userstatus
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo $row["userid"];
echo $row["fullname"];
echo $row["userstatus"];
}
mysql_free_result($result);
?>
