I would like to use the result of a query in another query using PHP and mysql

My first query should return a single result. 

$query="select idtechnic from technic where idname='$technic' and setname='$set' and number='$number'";

I would like to use the result of the above query in a second query:

$result=mysql_query($query);
$row1=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)
$query1="select idtechnic, move from moves where idtechnic='$row1[0]' order by idmoves";

I also tried mysql_fetch_array($query) and mysql_result($query, 1)

mysql_fetch_assoc fetches an associative array (aka hash or map). So, your idtechnic value reside in $row1['idtechnic']. But you'd better combine the queries like @cularis suggests, as it will result in faster and more readable code.

SELECT moves.idtechnic, moves.move 
FROM moves
INNER JOIN technic
        ON technic.idtechnic=moves.idtechnic
WHERE technic.idname='$technic' 
  AND technic.setname='$set' 
  AND technic.number='$number'
ORDER BY moves.idmoves

Combine the two queries with a INNER JOIN [MySQL Docs].
