    copied!<p>Hello I need some help on a project i am working on. </p> <p>I have a database with a large amount of records in it. I need to get a number of records into variables to make a graph. Below is part of my code so far.</p> <pre><code> //Retrieve all data from the table $result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM solar_panel ORDER BY id DESC") or die(mysql_error()); $row = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row1 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row2 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row3 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row4 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row5 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row6 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row7 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row8 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row9 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row10 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row11 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row12 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row13 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row14 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row15 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row16 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row17 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row18 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row19 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row20 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row21 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row22 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row23 = mysql_fetch_row($result); $row24 = mysql_fetch_row($result); </code></pre> <p>As you can see this will get quiet large, i need to get every 5th row in descending order put into a separate variable but the only way i know is to put all the rows into separate variables then use the 5th one in the graph data.</p> <p>I would like to do this for about 60 records so to write out all the records i would have to write the above code 300 times. Is there a quicker way to do this.</p> <p>i have tried doing a loop but can't get the variables to increase with each row selected.</p> <p>Any help would be much appreciated, or im writing a lot of code</p>
