Simple Query(1 column) to array to variables (not simple to me )

[noobster]

Hello,

I need just a little push and as i'm new at arrays it would really be helpfull.

I need to get variables with data coming from a simple sqlquery , my sql query returns datas as
product1
product2
product3
...
i can't seem to get
var1 = product1
var2 = product2 ...

all i can do is echo them in a loop but no usable variable.

here is my "cleared" code so far:

<?php
$query = "SELECT `produits`.`nom_prod` FROM `selectmem` Inner Join `produits` ON `selectmem`.`bon1` = `produits`.`id` OR `selectmem`.`bon2` = `produits`.`id` OR `selectmem`.`bon3` = `produits`.`id` "; 
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
	{
	echo $row['nom_prod'];
	echo "<br />";
	}
	echo "THE_END";

?>

my loop works and gets the datas but how to get datas to as many variables?
$var1, $var2 etc..

This or going directly from query to variables of course


thanks for your help

As you iterate, you have to store each result in an array or work on the returned result within each iteration.

$data = array();

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
    {
    echo $row['nom_prod'];
        array_push($data, $row['nom_prod']);
    echo "<br />";
    }

echo "<pre>".print_r($data, true)."</pre>";

Thanks a lot CrazyChop, i'll test that as soon as possible.
I'll travel for work this week so i'm not sure when i'll give feedback but i'll try to understand and adapt wich is always better.

Thanks for your time and tip
