PHP Code:
// Locate Forum Administrator
  
$findadmin mysql_query ($adminquery);
  
$adminquery "SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid = '1'";
  
$whosadmin "The administrator of this forum is $findadmin"
I added this into index.php and added the variable $whosadmin to the forumhome template.

It's appearing on my board as "The administrator of this forum is" - and stops at the good part >.<


What did I miss or where did I mess up?
Except for the query (but there's a slight problem there too), you are off.

The correct code:
PHP Code:
$result mysql_query("SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid = 1");
$user mysql_fetch_array($result);
$adminusername $user['username'];

$admintext "The administrator of this forum is $adminusername."
What I changed (other than some variable names but yours are not that bad):
  1. The correct procedure is execute the query, saving the result to a variable, and then save the result of mysql_fetch_array(that result) to another variable. mysql_fetch_array() returns one resulting row of the query as an array, where each array key corresponds to a column name in the query.
  2. Do not use quotes for numeric columns in MySQL.
If you are using a vB-powered page, then replace mysql_query() with $DB_site->query() and mysql_fetch_array() with $DB_site->fetch_array().[/list]
