MSSQL_FETCH_ARRAY(3)													      MSSQL_FETCH_ARRAY(3)

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

SYNOPSIS
       array mssql_fetch_array (resource  $result, [int  $result_type = MSSQL_BOTH])

DESCRIPTION
       mssql_fetch_array(3)  is  an  extended  version of mssql_fetch_row(3). 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.

	An important thing to note is that using mssql_fetch_array(3) is NOT significantly slower than using mssql_fetch_row(3), while it provides
       a significant added value.

PARAMETERS
	      o $result
		- The result resource that is being evaluated. This result comes from a call to mssql_query(3).

	      o $result_type
		-  The	type  of  array  that  is  to  be  fetched. It's a constant and can take the following values: MSSQL_ASSOC, MSSQL_NUM, and
		MSSQL_BOTH.

RETURN VALUES
	Returns an array that corresponds to the fetched row, or FALSE if there are no more rows.
