从数据库的行和列中提取特定数据

Question

My data base looks like this. its ordered ascending by NO# And col2 is the start of the database NO# is basically invisible and only used as a reference as to row number so lets say I wanted to display on a web page the text in col8, row 5. What would the php code be?

PS. the connect code is seperate and not an issue hence i did not include itI

-|NO#|col2|col3|col4|col5|col6|col7|col8|col9|col10

Here is my code but it whites out the page when I try to load it.

<?php 
//selects row
$query = "SELECT * FROM `Inventory` WHERE NO# = '5'";
//select column
$col8 = $row['col8'];
// fetch the results
WHILE($row = mysql_fetch_array($query):
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
// display the results
<div id="year">echo "$col8";</div>
?>

I would probably do something like what's below. I have not tested this code, though.

<?php 
    $result = mysql_query( "SELECT `col8` FROM `Inventory` WHERE `NO#` = '5' LIMIT 1" );
    $row = mysql_fetch_assoc( $result );
?>
<div id="year"><?php echo $row['col8']; ?></div>

Hopefully that'll help you out a bit.
