[SOLVED] Returning Column Name as Variable


Fruct0se

Recommended Posts

This always works fine except for some reason when using the LIKE statement. I am trying to return a group of rows and call them out by their column names. So if I have a column called NAME then when extracting the row I normally can reference that result by echoing $NAME, when using the like statement it is returning 0 and 1 etc... for the column names, any ideas?

<?php
$result = mysql_query("Select * from images where NAME like '$search%'"); 
while($i = mysql_fetch_row($result)){
    //This for each will echo:  0 NAMEofIMAGE
    foreach ($i as $name=>$val) {
    echo "$name is a $val <BR/>";
}
       //This will echo nothing for the $NAME because the query is not returning the column names
extract($i);
echo "<b>Name: ".$NAME."</b><br/>";
}
?>

 

Like I said, without the LIKE statement the column names are returned and when extracted can be used. Thanks for the help.
