[SOLVED] The differences

[LanceT]

Is there anywhere that tells me the difference between things like mysql_fetch_array vs mysql_fetch_object vs mysql_fetch_field. It seems like these functions are almost identical and can perform the same things.

Have a start with the manual first:

 

http://docs.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-array.php

 

They're all about retrieving rows from a search result.

 

I like using:

 

http://docs.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-assoc.php

 

and:

 

http://docs.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-object.php
