SQL Query - Results from another PHP Page ?

[Frank]

Can I store this PHP code in another page, then refernece it on
multiple pages using Require or Include ???

//results from sql query
for ($i=0; $i<$number; $i++) {
$ID = mysql_result($r esult,$i,"ID");
$CompanyName = mysql_result($r esult,$i,"1");
$ContactName = mysql_result($r esult,$i,"2");
$Phone = mysql_result($r esult,$i,"3");
$HomePhone = mysql_result($r esult,$i,"4");
$MobilePhone = mysql_result($r esult,$i,"5");
$AltPhone = mysql_result($r esult,$i,"6");
$SecondContact = mysql_result($r esult,$i,"7");
$SecondPhone = mysql_result($r esult,$i,"8");
$ThirdContact = mysql_result($r esult,$i,"9");
$ThirdPhone = mysql_result($r esult,$i,"10");
$Notes = mysql_result($r esult,$i,"11")
This will save me having to have all that on the pages its needed if I
can be used from another page !

Why not just use mysql_fetch_arr ay() and access
the fields by name? Try this:

$myrow = mysql_fetch_arr ay ($result, MYSQL_BOTH);

Now all of the fields will be in the $myrow array.
You can access the values by number or name. So this
code will print the company name.

echo $myrow['1'];

Not only can you, but you should. Code duplication should be avoided at all
costs. It will save you so much time later if you consolidate repeated code
into a single file. Just think of include() as a way of inserting an entire
file in-line with your current file.

Also, read the PHP manual about the mysql_result() function. It says:

"When working on large result sets, you should consider using one of the
functions that fetch an entire row (specified below). As these functions
return the contents of multiple cells in one function call, they're MUCH
quicker than mysql_result(). "

"Recommende d high-performance alternatives: mysql_fetch_row (),
mysql_fetch_arr ay(), and mysql_fetch_obj ect()."

Tony, I'm new to this, can you point me in the right direction ??

Thanks !

I would strongly recommend that you use a function which returns the
result set as an associative array so that you can access field values
using the field name rather than its sequence number in the array. Not
only does it make it easier to code, it also gets around the problem
that can be caused if the fields get returned in a different sequence.

That's just my opinion.

Take a look in the PHP documentation for the MySQL functions at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php

http://www.php.net/manual/en/functio...etch-array.php - Fetch a
result row as an associative array, a numeric array, or both.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/functio...etch-assoc.php - Fetch a
result row as an associative array.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/functio...tch-object.php - Fetch a
result row as an object.
