<span class="function"><strong>mssql_fetch_array()</strong></span> is an extended version of
<span class="function"><a href="function.mssql-fetch-row.html" class="function">mssql_fetch_row()</a></span>. 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

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