mysql_fetch_array —Fetch a result row as an associative array, a numeric array, or both
This extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0.Instead, theMySQLi orPDO_MySQL extension should be used.See alsoMySQL: choosing an API guide.Alternatives to this function include:
Returns an array that corresponds to the fetched row and moves the internal data pointer ahead.
resultThe resultresource thatis being evaluated. This result comes from a call tomysql_query().
result_type The type of array that is to be fetched. It's a constant and can take the following values:MYSQL_ASSOC,MYSQL_NUM, andMYSQL_BOTH.
Returns an array of strings that corresponds to the fetched row, orfalse if there are no more rows. The type of returned array depends on howresult_type is defined. By usingMYSQL_BOTH (default), you'll get an array with both associative and number indices. UsingMYSQL_ASSOC, you only get associative indices (asmysql_fetch_assoc() works), usingMYSQL_NUM, you only get number indices (asmysql_fetch_row() works).
If two or more columns of the result have the same field names, the last column will take precedence. To access the other column(s) of the same name, you must use the numeric index of the column or make an alias for the column. For aliased columns, you cannot access the contents with the original column name.
Example #1 Query with aliased duplicate field names
SELECT table1.field AS foo, table2.field AS bar FROM table1, table2
Example #2mysql_fetch_array() withMYSQL_NUM
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","mysql_user","mysql_password") or
die("Could not connect: ".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("mydb");
$result=mysql_query("SELECT id, name FROM mytable");
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_NUM)) {
printf("ID: %s Name: %s",$row[0],$row[1]);
}
mysql_free_result($result);
?>Example #3mysql_fetch_array() withMYSQL_ASSOC
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","mysql_user","mysql_password") or
die("Could not connect: ".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("mydb");
$result=mysql_query("SELECT id, name FROM mytable");
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
printf("ID: %s Name: %s",$row["id"],$row["name"]);
}
mysql_free_result($result);
?>Example #4mysql_fetch_array() withMYSQL_BOTH
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","mysql_user","mysql_password") or
die("Could not connect: ".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("mydb");
$result=mysql_query("SELECT id, name FROM mytable");
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_BOTH)) {
printf("ID: %s Name: %s",$row[0],$row["name"]);
}
mysql_free_result($result);
?>Note:Performance
An important thing to note is that usingmysql_fetch_array() isnot significantly slower than usingmysql_fetch_row(), while it provides a significant added value.
Note:Field names returned by this functionarecase-sensitive.
Note:This function sets NULL fields tothe PHP
nullvalue.
