php mysql array question

[Pete Morganic]

I use the PEAR db http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.php

This returns arrays - examples here
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/packag...ntro-fetch.php

look at the Quick data retreaval down the page

It shouldn't take a lot of code to put results into an array:
$query = "select * from table";
$r = mysql_result($query);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($r))
$hold[] = $row;
(OR, to index by some id field in the database:)
$hold[$row->id] = $row;
mysql_free_result($r);

Total of 5 lines.
