	include'./mysql_config.php';
	$check_position=mysqli_query($con, "SELECT `position` FROM `playerdata` WHERE ID = '".$unique_id."'");
	$fetch_position=mysqli_fetch_assoc($check_position);
	
	The value of position in the playerdata table is: 1|2|3
	
	I want that the result is:
	
	$x=1;
	&y=2;
	$rot=3;
