Quick Question

[james2010]

I've been using both mysql_fetch_array and mysql_fetch_assoc, and to me that using mysql_fetch_assoc is the best option for fetching an associative array because it only returns an associative array unlike mysql_fetch_array. But I've seen a lot of scripts written when mysql_fetch_array and just using the associative values. So does mysql_fetch_array have better performance or something, or am I just looking at outdated scripts?

One more question, why isn't mysql_fetch_assoc in the php manual on this site?

If you are just wanting the associative array then mysql_fetch_assoc is probably best for you, the scripts you are looking at are either out of date, the person writing them didn't know about assoc or they are using the enumerated index elsewhere. And mysql_fetch_assoc is in the manual. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-assoc.php
