Question

Been using PHP/MySQL for a little while now, and I’m wondering if there are any specific advantages (performance or otherwise) to using mysql_fetch_object() vs mysql_fetch_assoc() / mysql_fetch_array().

Answer 1

Performance-wise it doesn’t matter what you use. The difference is that mysql_fetch_object returns object:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {     echo $row->user_id;     echo $row->fullname; } 

mysql_fetch_assoc() returns associative array:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {     echo $row['userid'];     echo $row['fullname']; } 

and mysql_fetch_array() returns array:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {     echo $row[0];     echo $row[1] ; }
