$myid = 1;
 select msg_from FROM msg WHERE msg_to = $myid
so am selecting only where msg came from who sent it where all people sent msg to me - my userid 1

msg_from is the id which shows this msg is from this userid from tble users.
so msg_to is my userid the acct owner. so msg comes to me. but i need to see who sent them. 

##</code><code>##

so this is 

msg_from = userid
msg_to   = to me. my userid (1)

so am selecting all people who sent msg to my userid -my userid 1
bt the problem is in the sql statement bt the rest is ok
