    <p>I am having a problem returning a specific value from a mysql table i have. The code seems to be failing at the:</p> <pre><code>$role = $row[7]; </code></pre> <p>line. I've tested this using echo.</p> <p>My function looks like:</p> <pre><code>function fetchRole(){ $query = "SELECT * FROM membersTable WHERE username='$user'"; $result = queryMysql($query); $row = mysql_fetch_row($result); $role = $row[7]; switch ($role) { case "HeadCoach": $role = 'Head Coach'; break; case "Coach": $role = 'Team Coach'; break; case "Science": $role = 'Sport Scientist'; break; case "Strength": $role = 'Strength &amp; Conditioning'; break; case "Physio": $role = 'Physiotherapist'; break; case "GK": $role = 'Goalkeeper'; break; case "FB": $role = 'Full-Back'; break; case "LB": $role = 'Left-Back'; break; case "CB": $role = 'Centre-Back'; break; case "RB": $role = 'Right-Back'; break; case "LM": $role = 'Left-Midfielder'; break; case "CM": $role = 'Central-Midfielder'; break; case "RM": $role = 'Right-Midfielder'; break; case "AML": $role = 'Attacking-Midfielder (Left)'; break; case "AMC": $role = 'Attacking-Midfielder (Central)'; break; case "AMR": $role = 'Attacking-Midfielder (Right)'; break; case "WF": $role = 'Wide Forward'; break; case "CF": $role = 'Centre Forward'; break; default: $role = 'Unknown'; } return $role; } </code></pre> <p>The <code>membersTable</code> schema looks like this:</p> <pre><code>id INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, firstName VARCHAR(16), lastName VARCHAR(16), dob DATE, height CHAR(3), weight CHAR(3), type CHAR(1), position VARCHAR(16), teamName VARCHAR(32), status VARCHAR(16), username VARCHAR(16), pass VARCHAR(16), INDEX(firstName(6)), INDEX(lastName(6)) </code></pre> <p>I queryMysql is a function that i know works from other areas on my site.</p> <p>Currently echoing $row prints out RESOURCE #19.</p> <p>This previous function works:</p> <pre><code>function generateStafflist() </code></pre> <p>{</p> <pre><code>echo "&lt;h3&gt;Team Staff&lt;/h3&gt;"; $positionArray = array('HeadCoach','Coach','Science','Strength','Physio'); $query = "SELECT * FROM membersTable WHERE type='S'"; $result = queryMysql($query); $rows = mysql_num_rows($result); $count = count($positionArray); for($i = 0; $i &lt; $count; ++$i) { $result = queryMysql($query); for($j = 0; $j &lt; $rows; ++$j) { $row = mysql_fetch_row($result); $position = $row[7]; $currentPosition = $positionArray[$i]; if($position == $currentPosition) { echo "&lt;div class='snapshot'&gt;"; if(file_exists($row[9] . ".jpg")) { echo "&lt;img src='".$row[9].".jpg' height='210' width='180' /&gt;"; } else { echo "&lt;img src='imgs/profiles/noimage.png' height='210' width='180' /&gt;"; } echo $row[1] . " " . $row[2] . "&lt;br /&gt;"; switch($row[7]) { case "HeadCoach": $role = 'Head Coach'; break; case "Coach": $role = 'Team Coach'; break; case "Science": $role = 'Sport Scientist'; break; case "Strength": $role = 'Strength &amp; Conditioning'; break; case "Physio": $role = 'Physiotherapist'; break; default: $role = ''; } echo '[' . $role . ']&lt;br /&gt;'; echo '&lt;/div&gt;'; } } } </code></pre> <p>}</p>

    1. COBy failing you mean what specifically? Please provide the full schema of the `membersTable` that you are querying. There are a few issues with the way you are querying your SQL database but those aside, your question is lacking details and can't be answered as it is!

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.
