technohamster Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 i want to retrieve a specific value from a record in my mysql database. i tried using select like this:$displayname = mysql_query("SELECT name FROM users WHERE username = '$userid'");but it just outputs: resource id #4 or something like that. how do i actually retrieve the display name as a string, stored in the record that has the username to match the one in the variable $userid? do u still have to use select or is there another mysql function that will do the job?
