result_type
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.
&reftitle.returnvalues;
Returns an array of strings that corresponds to the fetched row, or &false;
if there are no more rows. The type of returned array depends on
how result_type is defined. By using
MYSQL_BOTH (default), you'll get an array with both
associative and number indices. Using MYSQL_ASSOC, you
only get associative indices (as mysql_fetch_assoc
works), using MYSQL_NUM, you only get number indices
(as mysql_fetch_row works).
If two or more columns of the result have the same field names,
the last column will take precedence. To access the other column(s)
of the same name, you must use the numeric index of the column or
make an alias for the column. For aliased columns, you cannot
access the contents with the original column name.

Performance
An important thing to note is that using
mysql_fetch_array is not
significantly slower than using
mysql_fetch_row, while it provides
a significant added value.
