also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information.

PDOStatement::fetch
Description
array mysql_fetch_array(
resource result,
int result_type
= =MYSQL_BOTH);
Returns an array that corresponds to the fetched row and moves the internal data pointer ahead.
Parameters
result
The result resource that is being evaluated. This result comes from
a call to
mysql_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
, and
MYSQL_BOTH
.
Return Values
Returns an array of strings that corresponds to the fetched row, or
FALSE
if there are no more rows.
The type of returned array depends on how
result_type
is defined. By using
MYSQL_BOTH
(default),
you'll get an array with both associative and number indices. Using
MYSQL_ASSOC
, you only get
associative indices (as
mysql_fetch_assoc
works), using
MYSQL_NUM
, you only get number indices
(as
mysql_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.
Examples
Example 20.38. Query with aliased duplicate field names
SELECT table1.field AS foo, table2.field AS bar FROM table1, table2
Example 20.39.
mysql_fetch_array
with
MYSQL_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);
?>
