Re: What's wrong with this? (Pt II)

Don't forget too that when you do a pgsql_fetch_array,
the way your are doing it, it will only pull the last
item. You need to make that in a while loop, so that
it will retreive all the rows of data.

Example:

while($row = pgsql_fetch_array($result))
{
    echo $row["townName"];
}

This will display all the townName entries that were a part
of your query. (i.e., if there were 4 results returned, it would
display all 4 results, but only the column townName)


Hope this helps,
