There is not so much difference between the
mysql_fetch_array and mysql_fetch_assoc in the sense that
both can fullfill your requirements but it depends on your
need and ease of use. I prefer mysql_fetch_array because
with it i can use both indexed value and associative value.

I will explain this difference with short example:
$sql = mysql_fetch_array(‘select name, address from
tbl_customer’);
It means that you are getting answer directly into an array
, and you dont need to know the field value of the elements
to be outputed.
Just print the output as:

foreach($sql as $ans){
echo $ans[0].' lives in '.$ans[1];
}
or
foreach($sql as $ans){
echo $ans['name'].' lives in '.$ans['address'];

}

mysql_fetch_assoc, you can output the result as $ans['name']
but not $ans[0] . What i want say is you need to know about
the field name of the table. Ok here is the sample code:

foreach($sql as $ans){
echo $ans['name'].' lives in '.$ans['address'];
}
But not
foreach($sql as $ans){
echo $ans[0].' lives in '.$ans[1];

}
