Hi,

I'm having a problem with a web app I am developing. The code in
question is:

$sql = "SELECT groupID FROM memberships WHERE userID = ".$uid;
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$result = mysql_fetch_array($result);
print_r($result);

Now, print_r($result) displays the following (when $uid = 1):

Array ( [0] => 1 [groupID] => 1 )

HOWEVER, that's not what it should be. If I run the same command at
the MySQL CLI I get the following:

+---------+
| groupID |
+---------+
| 1 |
| 2 |
+---------+

So, if I'm not mistaken, the $result array should contain ([0] => 1,
[1] => 2), NOT what PHP says it does. Can someone please tell me why
this is happening and how to correct it? I need to use the data
outputted by MySQL in my PHP script but if PHP is not receiving the
same data then I have no way of using it.

Thanks,

-Max
