When trying to put a value from a database into an array for checking, it jsut won't do it...

Like this:
$board_r = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mb_boards WHERE BoardID='$BoardID'", $link);
$board = mysql_fetch_row ($board_r);
$userarr = array($board[9]);

When I try to call $userarr at a later date, all it prints is: "Array" - and it doesn't put the contents of that veriable into the array, even though the contents of the cell are separated with commas and all the proper stuff needed for an array!

Please help me!

user error:

change this line:
$userarr = array($board[9]);

to:
$userarr = $board[9];

and mysql_fetch_row gives one row per call

You can't "print" an array in PHP.  You either need to loop through the array and print each element, or use something like print_r() or var_dump() to see the contents of the array.

I bet this will work for you:

$board_r = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mb_boards WHERE BoardID='$BoardID'", $link);
$board = mysql_fetch_row ($board_r);
$userarr = array($board[9]);

print_r($userarr);       // this, or ...
echo $userarr[0];     // this.
