The rows are indexed by number and then contain an array of the columns. So this would work, but you probably want to loop over $rows: $rows = $sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); $name = $rows[0]['MyID']; echo $name; When you fetch only one row it is just an array of columns: $row = $sth->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); $name = $row['MyID']; echo $name; -Shawn On Mon, May 19, 2014 at 6:57 PM, ICCSI <inungh@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I have following code to fetch data from database. > I am able to print the array, but I got HTTP 500 error when I assign the > array the value to echo the result. > > I think I am missing something between array and variable. > > Your help and information is great appreciated, > > Iccsi, > > > $row = $sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); > print_r($row); > print("\n"); > $name = "{$row['MyID']}"; > echo $name; >
