Thanks but how do I get this to work...

I thought of a way to do it but I need to access each line of the array

by number. I think this is called the master element index position.


I thought the following would work but it dosn't...


$row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_BOTH)
echo $row[1]['id'];
echo $row[1]['f_name'];
echo $row[1]['l_name'];


Theres no error, it just returns nothing.

mysql_fetch_array() does only fetch one line at the time, putting each column
in it's own cell.

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_BOTH)
echo $row['id'];
echo $row['f_name'];
echo $row['l_name'];

If you want to display all in the table

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo $row['id'];
echo $row['f_name'];
echo $row['l_name'];
}

If you want to limit the number of lines, you need to include LIMIT in the query.

$result = mysql_query("SELECT id, f_name, l_name FROM personal where
l_name ='$_POST[l_name]' LIMIT $startpoint,$numberofrows");

Keep in mind first row has the value 0.
