What is the correct syntax for this? $description = mysql_result($image_result,0,"photo_gallery_index.description_{$language}"); I am offering a web page in multiple languages. $language is what language the user is requesting. There is a matching column in the table for each language. For example I may be trying to get the value of description_french I am trying to use the variable instead of having several mysql_result lines Ron -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
