what is the difference between mysql_fetch_array() and
mysql_fetch_row()?
Answer Posted / srinivas1982
sorry for my mistake. here is the answer
the functions mysql_fetch_row(), mysql_fetch_array() and
mysql_fetch_object() return one row from the result, and
then move the pointer on. If there are no more rows to
fetch, it returns false. This means you can you use a very
simple while loop:
$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sometable");
while($row=mysql_fetch_row($result)){
do_something_with_row();
}
This will automatically terminate when the last row has been
processed.
the difference between mysql_fetch_row() and
mysql_fetch_array() is that the first returns the results in
a numeric array ($row[0], $row[1] etc), while the latter
returns a the results an array containing both numeric and
associative keys ($row["name"], $row["email"] etc).
mysql_fetch_object() returns an object ($row->name,
$row->email etc).
