Question

$query = "SELECT * FROM table";
$result = mysql_query($query, $db);
$all = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
echo mysql_num_rows($result) . ":" . count($all);

This returns

2063:7

I have not used count before, so I’m not 100% sure it’s not counting the table columns. It’s late and I might be going nuts.

Here’s another example of what’s happening:

$result = mysql_query($query, $db);
echo "Rows: " . mysql_num_rows($result) . " <BR />";

$player_array = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($player_array);
echo "</pre>";

Which outputs:

Rows: 9 
Array
(
    [playerID] => 10000030
)

TL;DR: I submit queries which return multiple rows, but fetch_array only gives me a small portion of those rows in the resulting array.

Answer 1

mysql_fetch_assoc returns only one row in once you have to use loop to retrieve all rows

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
   print_r($row);
}
