Field number?

[Ashkarita]

Howdy - I've been helping a friend who still uses 2.3.5 (trust me, I know, she should upgrade). But, since she isn't and I'm trying to fix a hack for her, how do you know what field number you're using in 2?

In 3, which is loads better, it tells you fieldX, however I don't know how you know in 2.

Thanks to anyone!

bump because I really need an answer to this

It's the same in vB2 as it was in vB3., i.e.:

field2

[Ashkarita]

No, I get that. I'm saying in vB3 it actually shows you in the row what field number it is. However in 2 there is no place that tells you exactly what the newly added field number is.

Sorry, you lost me. I don't understand.

Are you talking about within the database itself or within the PHP application? It's your basic array format. Find the field you have created, either within the database or from the Administrator control panel, then use it as you would any of the default fields in your programming. If you don't feel like using the original 'field', it's just as easy to make another addition to the database, querying it in to an array in the programming after assigning the array to a given variable. Within all of my additional programming, I always depended on my own arrays instead of adding to previous ones. It makes it easy to keep track of, and in the end just looks proper.

Sorry we can't help directly, we need more information in to what you are trying to accomplish.
