<span class="function"><strong>msql_fetch_array()</strong></span> is an extended version of
<span class="function"><a href="function.msql-fetch-row.html" class="function">msql_fetch_row()</a></span>. In addition to storing the

the data in associative indices, using the field names as keys.

An important thing to note is that using

than using <span class="function"><a href="function.msql-fetch-row.html" class="function">msql_fetch_row()</a></span>, while it provides
a significant added value.
