The <span class="function"><strong>maxdb_fetch_assoc()</strong></span> function is used to return an associative array
representing the next row in the result set for the result represented by the
<em><code class="parameter">result</code></em> parameter, where each key in the array represents the name
of one of the result set's columns.

<p class="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
<span class="function"><a href="function.maxdb-fetch-row.html" class="function">maxdb_fetch_row()</a></span> or add alias names.
