<para>
Returns an associative array that corresponds to the fetched row
and moves the internal data pointer ahead.
<function>mysql_fetch_assoc</function> is equivalent to calling
<function>mysql_fetch_array</function> with MYSQL_ASSOC for the
optional second parameter. It only returns an associative array.

<para>
Returns an associative array of strings that corresponds to the fetched row, or
&false; if there are no more rows.
</para>
<para>
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 either need to access the
result with numeric indices by using
<function>mysql_fetch_row</function> or add alias names.
See the example at the <function>mysql_fetch_array</function>
description about aliases.

<para>
An important thing to note is that using
<function>mysql_fetch_assoc</function> is <emphasis>not
significantly</emphasis> slower than using
<function>mysql_fetch_row</function>, while it
provides a significant added value.
