result from mysql into foreach?

[marf]

when using mysql_fetch_array($result)

 

I usually toss that into a while loop like so

 

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
...
}

 

however I was wondering if there was a way to put it in a foreach statement like so

 

foreach(mysql_fetch_array($result) as $row){
...
}

 

Is that legit? Will this work?

Nope, doesn't work...I'm not sure if there is some way to get it to though, there might be. I would just stick with the while loop =] Are you trying to achieve something you think your while loop can't?

I was just under the impression that a foreach loop's runtime is faster than while loop, the same way a Turnery operator is faster than an if/else

for each is for array and theres things that the foreach cant do like for and while does so it depends on the situation
