To do it with the SQL. If you want to check one particular field
in your table, you would write your SQL as
$sql="select * from some_table where
one_particular_field='PARTICULAR_VALUE'";
The main rule of writing a database application is: whatever you can
do in the database, do in the database. That's what you have the database
for: to provide some intelligence for the data retrieval. Why bother using
database when you're using it as a flat file?
