I have the following code: [quote]<?php $query3 = "SELECT members FROM groups WHERE g_id='".$id."'"; echo "$query3"; $result3 = mysql_query("SELECT members FROM groups WHERE g_id='1'"); $row = mysql_fetch_row($result3); $pieces = explode(" ", $row); echo $pieces[0]; echo $pieces[1]; if (in_array("bbaker", $pieces)) { echo "Got bbaker"; } else{ echo "nope"; } [/quote] [b]echo "$query3"[/b] is printing out the proper select statement -- runnning the statement manually in MySQL gets me the record "bbaker bbarker". But when I echo [b]$pieces[0][/b] and [b]$pieces[1][/b] I get the output [b]Array[/b] for both. I was hoping for bbaker and bbarker. And also I'm returning false on the condition [b]in_array("bbaker", $pieces)[/b]. Something's wrong with my SQL query. Any help is appreciated.
