PHP mysql_fetch_array() Function
Complete PHP MySQL Reference
Definition and Usage
The mysql_fetch_array() function returns a row from a recordset as an associative array
and/or a numeric array.
This function gets a row from the mysql_query() function and returns an array on success, or FALSE on failure or
when there are no more
rows.
Syntax
mysql_fetch_array(data,array_type)
|
| Parameter |

Tips and Notes
Note: After the data is retrieved, this function moves to the next row
in the recordset. Each subsequent call to mysql_fetch_array() returns the next
row in the recordset.
Tip: Field names returned by this function are case-sensitive.
Example
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost", "peter", "abc123");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
$db_selected = mysql_select_db("test_db",$con);
$sql = "SELECT * from Person WHERE Lastname='Refsnes'";
$result = mysql_query($sql,$con);
print_r(mysql_fetch_array($result));
mysql_close($con);
?>

The output of the code above could be:
Array
(
[0] => Refsnes
[LastName] => Refsnes
[1] => Kai Jim
[FirstName] => Kai Jim
[2] => Taugata 2
[Address] => Taugata 2
[3] => 22
