MYSQL - Select specific value from a fetched array

Question

I have a small problem and since I am very new to all this stuff, I was not successful on googling it, because I dont know the exact definitions for what I am looking for.

Answer 1

If you would rather work with a full set of results instead of looping through them only once, you can put the whole result set to an array:

$row = array();

while( $row[] = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) );

Now you can access individual records using the first index, for example the name field of the second row is in $row[ 2 ][ 'name' ].
