a php pre-defined variable to deal with multi dimensionel arrays returned from a SQL query
<p>after these for example</p>

<pre><code>$result = mysql_query("SELECT id, name FROM mytable")
</code></pre>

<p>i tried to echo back this </p>

<pre><code>$row=mysql_fetch_array($results, MYSQL_ASSOC);
</code></pre>

<p>when i did run the query in my PHPmyadmin SQL command it came back with several lines in columns (three) from the table 
but when i echo back $row it give back just one line</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?php echo print_r($row); ?&gt; 
</code></pre>
