No. Write your own wrapper function for MySQL_query() that does it for you...put it in a class....use it. Some abstraction layers that are out there may provide functions that do this for you, though. I generally avoid doing such things if I have to, that way I'm not wasting a bunch of memory in PHP by creating these huge arrays... ---John Holmes...
