There's no PHP function to do so. Some abastraction layers provide this, but
it's just doing a loop like you're doing.

Show your code and we can offer tips on how to improve performance.

I'm glad this feature doesn't exist. Just think how abused it would
be, how many people would use it, when few would actually need it.
Most people can use the data while in the loop, not after. Or do
what is needed in the sql, not php. Maybe I'm a little too parental
though, but so be it. :)
