In response to feedback ’3′ of this thread (and for anyone reading this who gets the same result). The only way i could remove the duplicate results after fetching an array query was to take the PRINT out of the code and put it into an ECHO command by adding an extra variable.(i used $range for this example but you can use anything)

e.g-

$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "USERNAME", "HOST");
mysql_select_db("DATABASE");
$query = "SELECT * FROM TABLE";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$range = "";
while ($line=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
foreach ($line as $value)
{

//$range .= $value;
}

$range .= "$value”;
mysql_close($link);

}

Then later in the code to produce the results from the query i put the ECHO in a element:

not really related to much to the topic and i know there might be other easier ways but i thought it might help people who are new to PHP like me :)

Thank you soo much for this absolute life saver! i’m currently converting our old site to PHP (after using HTML with CSS for so long) it got abit time consuming trying to flick through books which conveniently miss the PRINT function *palms own face*. I can’t believe after hours of chewing through my code trying to decipher the simple way to produce the results it was something as small as that. 10 thumbs up!

Hi I already figured it out. I got the error because the host is set to localhost and not my local ip..

Cheers

Hi thanks for your code it really works. But i got an error when i try to use my own ip.
The error says, “Host ‘comp.local’ is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server”. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Other than displaying the value twice, this worked great for me! Thanks
