mysql_fetch_array

mysql_fetch_array -- fetch row as array

Description

array mysql_fetch_array(int result);

Returns: An array that corresponds to the fetched row, or false if there are no more rows.

mysql_fetch_array() is an extended version of mysql_fetch_row(). In addition to storing the data in the numeric indices of the result array, it also stores the data in associative indices, using the field names as keys.

An important thing to note is that using mysql_fetch_array() is NOT significantly slower than using mysql_fetch_row(), while it provides a significant added value.
