Printing PHP value on page

$query in that statement will only be a resource identifier, not the data you are looking for.  You still need to use mysql_fetch_array() or one of the other methods to get the actual data, even if it is only one item.  http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-array.php

Here is what I have but it's giving an error:

$query = mysql_query("SELECT question FROM cometchat_question WHERE userid = '$username' ");
	$row = mysql_fetch_array($query)
	echo $row ;

Select allOpen in new window

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in /home/clear555/public_html/dyadmenu.php on line 48

You need a semi-colon ';' at the end of the second line.  Like...

$row = mysql_fetch_array($query);

Select allOpen in new window

Thanks, it's strange when I run the sql statement in the db it returns the result correct but when I print the array like this on the page it comes up blank. The username prints correct so it is connecting to the DB.

It would be a varchar format the question field that I am trying to fetch.

In this case the correct result from the db would be "Hello World"

$username = Phpfox::getUserBy('user_id'); 
	echo $username ;
	
	// Check for question
	$query = mysql_query("SELECT question FROM cometchat_question WHERE userid = '$username' ");
	$row = mysql_fetch_array($query) ;
	echo $row ;

Select allOpen in new window
