I am a little confused about mysql querys in php. When you do a query like this:

<?php
$var = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table;");
?>

What would the variable $var be / datatype? and how could i use mysql_fetch_array(); without the mysql_query() function inside of it?

<?php
$var = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table;");

if (is_resource($var)) {
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($var)) {
          print_r($row);
   }
}else {
    echo 'Query failed, error is: ' . mysql_error();
}
?>

 

Hope that helps ya.
