I believe an associative array is what I need here. I have a column in an html table pulling from a MySQL DB via PHP which displays values from a questions/answer application so it would display something like 4,8,9,12,17 etc. I wanted to set up an associative array to correspond with those numbers such as 4=\>I-A,8=\>I-B,9=\>I-C,12=\>I-D,17=\>II-C etc. and then have another column which displays the associative values.Would I need to use mysql\_fetch\_assoc for this?
