Hi All,

I am trying to display a mysql record on the screen. I would rather
not use specific field names in case the fields change, etc. So, I
just want to create a simple table with the field names down the first
column and the corresponding values in the second. I've tried several
different snippets of code that I found, but I can't seem to get it
working right.

This is what I've been working off of:

$fieldNames=array_keys($myrow);

But this array have every other value as, what seems to be, a row id.
Looks like this:

Array ( [0] => 0 [1] => sheet_id [2] => 1 [3] => client_id [4] => 2
[5] => business_name [6] => 3 [7] => business_address [8] => 4 [9] =>
business_city)

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

use mysql_fetch_object or mysql_fetch_assoc and use a foreach thus

$rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($res);
foreach ($rows[0] as $field_name => $field_value)
echo "<tr><td>{$field_name}</td><td>{$field_value}</td></tr>";

Thanks for playing Captain, unfortunately the correct answer was:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) {
foreach ($row as $name => $val) {
echo "<tr><td>{$name}</td><td>{$val}</td></tr>\n";
}
}

Don't fetch the result with mysql_fetch_array(), use mysql_fetch_assoc()
instead. mysql_fetch_array() will return both a numerical as named array
by default.

Yes of course it was!

I have spent so long using mysql through a framework, that I totally
forgot what the raw functions do!

Or just:

mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC); // MYSQL_ASSOC, MYSQL_NUM,
MYSQL_BOTH are allowed. Default is MYSQL_BOTH.
