Using SELECT SUBSTR - MySQL PHP

I've got to re-learn my MySQL and PHP programming skills . I have a field name contentdata with a hex data of AA560D72DA4AB20AAA using a type char. In MySQL, I can run this command: SELECT SUBSTR(hex(contentdata),15,2) FROM table1 output is: 0A How can I code " SELECT SUBSTR(hex(contentdata),15,2) FROM table1 " in PHP so I can bring the same result? MySQL create php code gave me this recommendation but I can't show the value. $sql = "SELECT SUBSTR(hex(payload),15,2) FROM device_status LIMIT" Let me know what I'm missing here? UPDATE: A member (Katherine) in domain name forum recommended to use "AS hex_value" to create aliases for the field resulting from expressions. It works! So, I query the data using the codes below: " SELECT SUBSTR(hex(contentdata),15,2) AS myHex_data FROM table1 "

Maps. I will update on you on this feature. The Apple Maps elements are vector based, this makes the graphics and text are incredibly detailed according to Apple. One thing for sure, you need to enable the Location Services to use maps. I like the 3D feature of Apple Maps Siri. Siri can open my apps ... excellent. I don't have to look for it. I shared my iTunes account with my family, if you're in the same situation like me you know what I mean. Now I can talk to Siri for sport updates. Facebook. Not too fan of Facebook to share everything, but a nice b
