  <para>
   <function>sybase_fetch_array</function> is an extended version of
   <function>sybase_fetch_row</function>.  In addition to storing the
   data in the numeric indices of the result array, it also stores
   the data in associative indices, using the field names as keys.
  </para>
  <para>
   An important thing to note is that using
   <function>sybase_fetch_array</function> is NOT significantly
   slower than using <function>sybase_fetch_row</function>, while it
   provides a significant added value.

   Returns an array that corresponds to the fetched row, or &false; if there
   are no more rows.

  <note>
   <para>
    When selecting fields with identical names (for instance, in a join), the
    associative indices will have a sequential number prepended. See the
    example for details.

     The above example would produce the following output (assuming the two tables only
     have each one column called "person_id"):
