Okay, I know how to:
- construct a SQL query and get a result set
- loop through the result set and echo the fields I need

But what I really need to do is get a value from a field and put it in a
variable, and I can't seem to get it to work, because then the variable just
holds "resource id#"
So the query I'm using returns only one row, since I'm filering on the
primary key, and I can test for one row returned. If one row is returned,
how do I pull out the value of one field and put it in a variable?

I know this is very basic stuff, but I can't seem to find the answer. Even
just a very simple reply, pointing me in the right direction would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Ernie
