maxdb_fetch_array - Fetch a result row as an associative, a numeric array, or both

       Procedural style

SYNOPSIS

       mixed maxdb_fetch_array (resource  $result, [int  $resulttype])

DESCRIPTION

       Object oriented style
       mixed maxdb_result::fetch_array ([int  $resulttype])

	Returns an array that corresponds to the fetched row or NULL if there are no more rows for the resultset represented by the $result param-
       eter.

       maxdb_fetch_array(3) is an extended version of the maxdb_fetch_row(3) function. In addition to storing the data in the numeric  indices	of
       the result array, the maxdb_fetch_array(3) function can also store the data in associative indices, using the field names of the result set
       as keys.

       Note

	      Field names returned by this function are case-sensitive.

       Note

	      This function sets NULL fields to the PHP NULL value.

	If two or more columns of the result have the same field names, the last column will take precedence and overwrite the	earlier  data.	In
       order to access multiple columns with the same name, the numerically indexed version of the row must be used.

	The  optional  second  argument  $resulttype is a constant indicating what type of array should be produced from the current row data. The
       possible values for this parameter are the constants  MAXDB_ASSOC,  MAXDB_ASSOC_UPPER,  MAXDB_ASSOC_LOWER,  MAXDB_NUM,  or  MAXDB_BOTH.	By
       default the maxdb_fetch_array(3) function will assume MAXDB_BOTH, which is a combination of MAXDB_NUM and MAXDB_ASSOC for this parameter.

	By  using  the MAXDB_ASSOC constant this function will behave identically to the maxdb_fetch_assoc(3), while MAXDB_NUM will behave identi-
       cally to the maxdb_fetch_row(3) function. The final option MAXDB_BOTH will create a single array with the attributes of both.

	By using the MAXDB_ASSOC_UPPER constant, the behaviour of this function is identical to the use of MAXDB_ASSOC except the array index of a
       column is the fieldname in upper case.

	By using the MAXDB_ASSOC_LOWER constant, the behaviour of this function is identical to the use of MAXDB_ASSOC except the array index of a
       column is the fieldname in lower case.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns an array that corresponds to the fetched row or NULL if there are no more rows in resultset.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Object oriented style

	      <?php
	      $maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");

	      /* check connection */
	      if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
		 printf("Connect failed: %s
", maxdb_connect_error());
		 exit();
	      }

	      $query = "SELECT name, state FROM hotel.city ORDER by zip";
	      $result = $maxdb->query($query);

	      /* numeric array */
	      $row = $result->fetch_array(MAXDB_NUM);
	      printf ("%s (%s)
", $row[0], $row[1]);

	      /* associative array */
	      $row = $result->fetch_array(MAXDB_ASSOC);
	      printf ("%s (%s)
", $row["NAME"], $row["STATE"]);

	      /* associative and numeric array */
	      $row = $result->fetch_array(MAXDB_BOTH);
	      printf ("%s (%s)
", $row[0], $row["STATE"]);

	      /* free result set */
	      $result->close();

	      /* close connection */
	      $maxdb->close();
	      ?>

       Example #2

	      Procedural style

	      <?php
	      $link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");

	      /* check connection */
	      if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
		 printf("Connect failed: %s
", maxdb_connect_error());
		 exit();
	      }

	      $query = "SELECT name, state FROM hotel.city ORDER by zip";
	      $result = maxdb_query($link, $query);

	      /* numeric array */
	      $row = maxdb_fetch_array($result, MAXDB_NUM);
	      printf ("%s (%s)
", $row[0], $row[1]);

	      /* associative array */
	      $row = maxdb_fetch_array($result, MAXDB_ASSOC);
	      printf ("%s (%s)
", $row["NAME"], $row["STATE"]);

	      /* associative and numeric array */
	      $row = maxdb_fetch_array($result, MAXDB_BOTH);
	      printf ("%s (%s)
", $row[0], $row["STATE"]);

	      /* free result set */
	      maxdb_free_result($result);

	      /* close connection */
	      maxdb_close($link);
	      ?>

       The above example will output something similar to:

       New York (NY)
       New York (NY)
       Long Island (NY)
