Or to make it easy, here's the line you need: $info = mysql_fetch_array( $result );
Put that line right after the query. So, here's sample: $Link=mysql_pconnect($Host, $User, $Password); $db=mysql_select_db($DBname, $Link); $query=mysql_query("SELECT * from calendar", $Link); $result = mysql_fetch_array( $query ); print $result[meeting]; You can also use Objects: $result = mysql_fetch_object( $query ); print $result->meeting; If you're getting more than one line, you need to fetch each row. For example: $query = mysql_query( "select * from capitals" ); while ( $a_row = mysql_fetch_array( $query ) ) { print "$a_row[capital] is the capital of $a_row[country]<br>\n"; } Hope this helps!
