    <p>You seem to misunderstand array versus string. </p> <p>Array<br> <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php" rel="nofollow">http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php</a> </p> <p>String (in variable)<br> <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.basics.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.basics.php</a> </p> <p>You can use the variable and string approach you currently have, but in honesty you're setting yourself up for a world of pain by having what is affectively different keys and values in single variable/string. This is what arrays are for! </p> <p>A string is a single entity, maybe many chars or words etc, but should be used when you want one thing. $TheName = "Bob";<br> An array is when you want to store, manipulate and make use of several strings or data sets in one go. ie a load of database results. </p> <p>As such, it seems to me you need to use an array. For your code to be an array, you would do something such as: </p> <pre><code>$array = array( "test type" =&gt; "human", "number of participants" =&gt; "2 persons", "additional" =&gt; "$50" ); </code></pre> <p>The KEY of the array is the first text in "", then you assign a VALUE to that KEY by using <code>=&gt;</code>, then the next text in quotes is the VALUE. You separate each KEY and VALUE pair with a comma, the final KEY and VALUE pair in the array does not need a comma. </p> <p>This above is created manually, however you can create this in a loop from a database query. Replacing the manually assigned KEY names as above with perhaps the database column name, and the VALUE would likely be the field's data. </p> <p>As for your question "get specific data from array", you would then loop the array, echoing or assigning each KEY's VALUE to a variable.<br> eg</p> <pre><code>foreach ($array as $key =&gt; $value) { echo "The ."$key." is ".$value; } </code></pre> <p>You really need to read some tutorials on the basics. This is a Q&amp;A site and while we'll help you with questions you have, you do need to understand the basics of what you're coding before you can ask a question about it.<br> As with above, the answer then is not an answer to a question but a guide or tutorial that can already be found on Stack Exchange sites, forums and tutorials :)</p>

    3. CO@Surya - the content you gave above is NOT and array! If the text in your `$array[]` is all from a single database field, then it's designed to be one entity and can just be used like it currently is - echoed etc. If each part of that string is separate, then you should have separate columns in your db table to manage it. Or, you're stuck with a headache trying to split out potentially dynamic text from a single string.

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.
