HI John,
No worries, I got it to work. Seems to output
correctly now.
$qr = mysql_query("SELECT IF ( emailerror = ( 'y' ) ,
'error yes', ' ' ) FROM tipping where nickname =
\"$sidarray[0]\"");
$result = mysql_query($qr);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($qr);
echo $row['0'];
Yes the code is not totally right. $row =
myusql_fetch_array($qr); but each time I set it as
result it bombed out on me. Not sure why. But it
works but I guess it's not 100% reliable?
