I'm studying PHP now woth this manual, but it's rather fuzzy on how to show data on screen obtained from a database, or how to assign a value of one record of the database to a variable I can use in my script. Concrete, this is the case: I would like to be able to assign to the variable $TruePassword the value found in colomn Password at row $EneteredName, so I can compare it to the password ppl enter when logging in.
I hope this makes sense, if not please ask what I forgot to mention or what I was unclear about. Thanks beforehand, Ondoron Bondoon btw, this is what I tried... <?php $Host="localhost"; $Username="adminsithlore"; $DBName="adminsithlore_uk_db"; $Tablename="Login"; $Connection = mysql_connect ($Host, $Username); $Mission= "select Password from $Tablename where (Name=\"Ondoron Bondoon\")"; $Result= mysql_db_query($DBName, $Mission, $Connection); if ($Result) { print ("$Result"); } print("<br/> $tryname, $trypassword"); mysql_close ($Connection); ?> -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
