I've tried to get this to work in several ways, but I can't get this query to return the Cost value from the database to the $cost variable:
$query2 = "SELECT Cost FROM 'item' WHERE Item = '$item'";
$cost= $db->query($query2);
It seems to be empty when I try to echo it.
(The $item variable is selected from a dropdown list generated from the item-table in the mySQL-db. This works fine and if I echo the value from $item, it returns the name of the item as expected.)
Anybody sees what I'm doing wrong?
I could post my complete code if necessary, but I believe this explanation may be sufficient.
