Echo single mysql entry

[fheppell]

I've got a mysql query that should return a single cell

SELECT `download` FROM `images` WHERE `owner_un`='$owner' AND `url`='$url'

How would I echo the result of this?
Thanks for any help

There are code snippets in the PHP forum showing you how. Preferably the one using MySQLi or PDO.

In PHP (using mysql), fetching one result:

<?php
$q = "SELECT `download` FROM `images` WHERE `owner_un`='$owner' AND `url`='$url' LIMIT 1";
$rq = mysql_query($q);
$fetch = mysql_fetch_assoc($rq);

echo '<p>Result: ' . $fetch['download'] . '</p>';

Fetching all results:

<?php
$q = "SELECT `download` FROM `images` WHERE `owner_un`='$owner' AND `url`='$url' LIMIT 1";
$rq = mysql_query($q);

while($fetch = mysql_fetch_assoc($rq))
{
    echo '<p>Result: ' . $fetch['download'] . '</p>';
}

I second the usage of mysqli/PDO.

True, I'd also recommend using PDO/mysqli instead of just mysql :)
