mysql results, arrays, and for loops

Hi all! I am using a select statement to obtain all the dates whenever someone submitted a problem in a database. Well, I want to get the result (which could be multiple dates) and then print that in a table format with some other information on a webpage. So I want to use a FOR loops and go through each of the dates and dynamically create a table. My question is: how do I store the results of the select query? Would I want to store them in an array, and then just parse through each element of the array, and what is the syntax for that? Or is there a better way? Thanks, ~Philip
