[thelist] pulling a single sql result in php

Hi,

Ive been reading that normally for a result set in PHP you pull the
array:

$result = @mysql_query("SELECT categoryID FROM category WHERE
category = '$newCat'");

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

then get your values like

$myvar = $row['categoryID'];

If I am only getting one result, is there a simpler way than pulling
the array?

TIA

Tom
