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

<para>
<function>msql_fetch_array</function> is an extended version of
<function>msql_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>
The second optional argument <parameter>result_type</parameter>
in <function>msql_fetch_array</function> is a constant and can
take the following values: MSQL_ASSOC, MSQL_NUM, and MSQL_BOTH.
</para>
<para>
Be careful if you are retrieving results from a query that may
return a record that contains only one field that has a value of
0 (or an empty string, or &null;).
</para>
<para>
An important thing to note is that using
<function>msql_fetch_array</function> is NOT significantly slower
than using <function>msql_fetch_row</function>, while it provides
a significant added value.
</para>
<para>

<function>msql_fetch_row</function>.
