Description
array
msql_fetch_array ( resource query_identifier [, int result_type] )
Returns an array that corresponds to the fetched row, or FALSE if
there are no more rows.
msql_fetch_array() is an extended version of
msql_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.
The second optional argument result_type
is a constant and can take the following values:
MSQL_ASSOC, MSQL_NUM, and
MSQL_BOTH with MSQL_BOTH being
the default.
An important thing to note is that using
msql_fetch_array() is NOT significantly slower
than using msql_fetch_row(), while it provides
a significant added value.
| Warning |
In PHP versions prior to 4.3.11 and 5.0.4 a bug existed
when retrieving data from columns containing NULL values.
Such columns were not placed into the resulting array.

Example 1. msql_fetch_array() example
<?php
$con = msql_connect();
if (!$con) {
die('Server connection problem: ' . msql_error());
}
if (!msql_select_db('test', $con)) {
die('Database connection problem: ' . msql_error());
}
$result = msql_query('SELECT id, name FROM people', $con);
if (!$result) {
die('Query execution problem: ' . msql_error());
}
while ($row = msql_fetch_array($result, MSQL_ASSOC)) {
echo $row['id'] . ': ' . $row['name'] . "\n";
}
msql_free_result($result);
?>
