We are are trying to port our code to odbc_fetch_array (from sqlite_fetch_array and mysql_fetch_array) and the code has mixed numeric and associative references. Because of the mixture we cannot use the odbc_fetch_array function, as any returned arrays that are dependent on numeric arrays fail. Why is this not a consistent function, and is there a workaround ? Is there a way to have the fetch_array function return a $row array for odbc with a numeric and associative index. Reproduce code: --------------- We have a class for each database called xxxxDatabase where xxxx = sqlite, mysql or odbc. This is the fetch_array function; function fetch_array($result) { $row = odbc_fetch_array($result); return $row } This only returns an associative array. function fetch_array($result) { $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); return $row } This return an associative and numeric array Expected result: ---------------- To get an array that contains associative AND numeric indexes Actual result: -------------- Associative only - not consistent with other database fetch array functions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30916&edit=1
