It only returns an associative array. This is the way <A HREF="function.mysql-fetch-array.html" ><B CLASS="function" >mysql_fetch_array()</B ></A > originally worked.

To access the other column(s) of the same name, you either need to access the result with numeric indices by using <A HREF="function.mysql-fetch-row.html" ><B CLASS="function" >mysql_fetch_row()</B ></A > or add alias names.
