Question

I am trying to build a function that extracts information from a database and inserts it into an associative array in PHP using mysql_fetch_assoc, and return the array so another function can display it. I need a way to display the returned assoc array. This should be a different function from the first one

Answer 1

Assuming you’ve made the call, and got $result back:

$array = new array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
  $array[] = $row;
}
return $array;
