COL2 = NAME myname

and I\'m getting from the databa

Answer 1

Either specify MYSQLI_ASSOC after your query, or use mysqli_fetch_assoc. from the manual:

resulttype This optional parameter is a constant indicating what type of array should be produced from the current row data. The possible values for this parameter are the constants MYSQLI_ASSOC, MYSQLI_NUM, or MYSQLI_BOTH.

By using the MYSQLI_ASSOC constant this function will behave identically to the mysqli_fetch_assoc(), while MYSQLI_NUM will behave identically to the mysqli_fetch_row() function. The final option MYSQLI_BOTH will create a single array with the attributes of both.

Answer 2

From the manual

mysqli_fetch_array() is an extended version of the mysqli_fetch_row() function. In addition to storing the data in the numeric indices of the result array, the mysqli_fetch_array() function can also store the data in associative indices, using the field names of the result set as keys.

What you you're really looking for is mysqli_fetch_assoc()

Returns an associative array that corresponds to the fetched row or NULL if there are no more rows.
