Returning results

[David McGlone <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone, it's me again :-/

I'm having a whole lot of trouble figuring out how to return a result
from a query such as in this code example:

function LearnIt(){
  $query = "SELECT learn_id FROM mydatabase ";
  $result = mysql_query($query);
  return $result;
  }

I already achieved a connection to the database with no problem, to
verify I wrote this query also:

function GetMeARow(){
  
  $query = "SELECT learn_id FROM mydatabase ";
  $result = mysql_query($query);
  while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){  
  echo $row[learn_id];
  }

With the latter, It works as expected, echoing the 2 rows I have in the
DB, but I'm trying to understand the method used in the former.
