echo "you bought 1 archer";
$data = mysql_query("SELECT Vals FROM vals2 WHERE ValsN = 'archers'");
if ($data == false) exit("This has failed");
$msg = mysql_fetch_assoc($data);
echo "<br />";
echo $msg;//this just says that it is an array
echo "<br />";
echo $data;
echo "<br />";
$msg2 = mysql_num_fields($data);
echo $msg2;
echo "<br />";
$msg3 = mysql_fetch_row($data);//this is not shown for some reason
echo $msg3;

This is the code.

 

I'd like to get a number out of the db, and convert the resource into just a number value or string, then alter the number in PHP (i know how to do that part) then put the number back into the db (I think I can do that also)

 

I just don't know how to convert a resource ("$data") into a variable to use in the PHP code.

 

Hopefully you know what I mean.

 

(the output of the above code is)

Shop choice method.

you bought 1 archer

Array

Resource id #4

1
