    <p>The short answer is: no, you should not expect it to, especially if using the <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/migration54.new-features.php" rel="nofollow">new features</a> of PHP 5.4 within your code.</p> <p>The specific error you are referring to with: </p> <blockquote> <p>Parse error occur to the code</p> </blockquote> <p>is because the line </p> <pre><code>$country = mysql_fetch_row(queryMySQL("----"))[0]; </code></pre> <p>is using the new feature: </p> <blockquote> <p>Function array dereferencing</p> </blockquote> <p>Which, prior to PHP 5.4, had to use a temporary variable in order to access a specific index of the return, ie:</p> <pre><code>$country_temp = mysql_fetch_row(queryMySQL("----")); $country = $country_temp[0]; </code></pre> <p>Now, being that you are a novice developer, there are a few things you should note. The first and most important being that <code>mysql_</code> functions are <a href="http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php" rel="nofollow">deprecated</a> giving the note: </p> <blockquote> <p>This extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used.</p> </blockquote> <p>In other words, use <a href="http://us2.php.net/manual/en/book.pdo.php" rel="nofollow">PDO</a> if wanting to use prepared statements, or <a href="http://us2.php.net/manual/en/book.mysqli.php" rel="nofollow">MySQLi</a> if not. Another advantage of using PDO and obtaining only one column as you are in the example code is that once you are connected, you can use the function <a href="http://us2.php.net/manual/en/pdostatement.fetchcolumn.php" rel="nofollow"><code>PDOStatement::fetchColumn()</code></a> to obtain only one column like you are trying to do now.</p> <p>Anyways, I hope this explanation helps you understand why you can't go back to PHP 5.3.x if using specific PHP 5.4 abilities - and also some understanding of how to improve your database connection and available functions that can help you get your desired result without using the "array dereferencing" that is provided with PHP 5.4. ^^</p>

    1. COThe temporary variable isn't necessary in this case. One can use `list($country) = mysql_fetch_row(...)`.

    2. COWhile true, introducing [`list`](http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.list.php) to a programmer who isn't that familiar with the language might cause confusion as to how it operates. Using a temporary variable shows a direct line of assignment in the way that OP was familiar with. ^^

Querying!

 
Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
