First of all, where does $product_id come from? You gave us no code that gives us that. Second, if you're trying to make an array populated with a feild from each row returned, your first example will work, but not the second. The second example will empty the array, and start a new one (which doesn't make sense to me why you would do that--because in the end, you're only going to have the array with the last row returned). But if you're trying to destroy an array doing either: unset($an_array) or $an_array = array(); will do the job.
