Hi,

But then it would be getColumn() and not getField(). *g* What is the 
difference between getColumn() and getRows('your_field_here')?
I think it would be great to have something that delivers the value of a 
specified field directly. For all the other stuff (like fetching more 
then one value) getRows() seems just fine.

Aight, or with array_pop(mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query('SELECT name from 
table WHERE uid = 3')));

*g*

All this function aims to do is, to make it easier to get one value out 
of the database.
