I haven't try this yet but wondering if it's possible. Can I do something like this: select fieldone from table ; $myvar = $fieldone ? And more so could I do it with a where clause ? i.e. select fieldone from table where fieldone = 3 $myvar = $fieldone ? This is probably a stupid question. I am also wondering about syntax.
