Question

Right now when I run the following query SELECT * FROM table I get the following response

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(36) {
    [0]=>
    string(5) "31764"
    ["id"]=>
    string(5) "31764"
    ...
  }
  ...
}

As you can see I am getting 2 of the same data (“0” and “id”). Is there any way I can only get “id” and not “0”?

Check the documentation of mysql_fetch_array(), the second argument allows you to specify what kind of array to return:

The type of array that is to be fetched. It’s a constant and can take the following values: MYSQL_ASSOC, MYSQL_NUM, and MYSQL_BOTH.

Or you could just use mysql_fetch_assoc().
