[Resolved] extract() query

[helz]

ive used extract in the past to convert the $_POST[''] into variables of the same name and i was wondering whether it works for arrays too.

so lets say i use a db query, normally id do this:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
  $1 = $row['1'];
  $2 = $row['2'];
  echo $1.'-'.$2;
}

could i use extract($row) to convert $row['1'] into $1 ??

thanks in advance

actually, [man]extract/man is intended for arrays, and $_POST just happens to be an array.

ah, well isnt that just fine and dandy 😃

thats gonna save loads of time when writing out all the different fields in a table, thanks laserlight.
