Below is my code

 

<?php

for($i=1; $i<=4; $i++) {
$query = "SELECT * FROM `people` WHERE `id` = {$i}  LIMIT 0, 30 ";
$result = mysql_query($query);


if($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
   if ($row['id'] > 1 || $row['id'] < 5 )
   echo $row['id'] . "<br>";
}

}

?>

The output is:

 

Connected Successfully

1

2

Now I want to get only the second value. Can anyone one HELP?

pardon me for being nitpicky but try changing all that completely

 

You should always avoid looping a select statement....whenever possible.

Besides

SELECT * FROM `people` WHERE `id` = {$i}  LIMIT 0, 30

is only going to return ONE row anyway so why limit with a range to 30

 

Another note

if($row = 

should be while($row =

That's the only loop you need.....to loop through your results

$query = "SELECT * FROM `people` WHERE `id` IN (1,2,3,4)";
$result = mysql_query($query);


while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
   if ($row['id'] == 2)
       echo $row['id'] . "
";
}
?>

Many Thanks.

Actually it was my fault that I did not elaborate what I wanted.

I want to read the end value. Suppose, there are number of  'id's in 'people' that I don't know.

In such case,  I want to read the last one which I could not do. I tried end function but it did not work.

I elaborate the problem a little bit, so that if anyone can help!

My code of new_user.php page is like this:

<?php
$my_connection = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');

if (!$my_connection)
{
  die('Could not conncet: ' . mysql_error());
}

echo 'Connected Successfully' . '<br><hr>';

$my_database = mysql_select_db('a');

if (!$my_database)
{
  die('Could not find database: ' . mysql_error());
}
?>

<?php

    function mysql_prep( $value ){
$magic_quotes_active = get_magic_quotes_gpc();
$new_enough_php = function_exists( "mysql_real_escape_string" ); // i.e. PHP >= v4.3.0
if( $new_enough_php ){ // PHP v4.3.0 or higher
	/*undo any magic quote efects so mysql_real_escape_string can do the work */
	if( $magic_quotes_active ){ $value = stripslashes( $value ); }
	$value = mysql_real_escape_string( $value );
} else { // before PHP v4.3.0
// if magic quotes aren't already on them add slashes manually
if( !$magic_quotes_active ){ $value = addslashes( $value ); }
// if magic quotes are active, then the slashes already exist
}
    return $value;

Now if anyone filled up the form and logged in, the datas go directly to the the database in the table "people".

I want to read the 'id' of people which is auto-incremented with every entry. If I use "SELECT * FROM people", the whole bunch of 'id's come out. I don't want the whole thing. I want only the 'end' 'id'.

Any IDEA?

Yeah this is easy. Just "SELECT * FROM people...." and order by ID DESC".

 

This will get you all the records but return the last entry to the top.

 

Then you don't even have to do a loop, you just output your return query and it will only give you

the last entry.

Many Many thanks. I found another way where every user find their 'id' along with 'first_name' and 'last_name' .

The code is:

<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT id, first_name, last_name FROM people", $my_connection);
while (list($id, $first_name, $last_name) = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
    echo " <tr>\n" .
          "  <td><a href=\"content.php?id=$id\">$first_name . $id</a></td>\n" .
          "  <td>$last_name</td>\n" .
          " </tr>\n";
}


?>

It gives a nice link where anyone can click the his/her name and author_id link and land up in the main page.
