Question

In my php code I take data from the database and I put to a specific values ​​of the Array:

$from_db=mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM ... ");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($from_db)) {
$number_id[]=$row['number_id'];
...
}

And now I would like add this line (for other purposes) before comand “while”:

$from_db = mysql_fetch_array($from_db);

How can I change this line: while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($from_db)) { to process an array instead of a raw data from database?

I suggest you use PDO class instead. mysql_* functions are not recommended anymore and will be deprecated in the (far) future.

An example is something like:

//Connect to database and whatnot
//...
$PDOquery=$PDO->prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id=?;');
$PDOquery->execute(array(1));
$resultArray=$PDOquery->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); //Results stored as associative array in ths array.
