I have the following code: $query = "SELECT * FROM classics"; $result = mysql_query($query); if (!$result) die ("Database access failed: " . mysql_error()); $rows = mysql_num_rows($result); for ($j = 0 ; $j < $rows ; ++$j) {
    $results[] = mysql_fetch_array($result);
} mysql_close($db_server); My question, in the loop, why does tha author use: $results[] = mysql_fetch_array($result); instead of (as I would expect): $results[$j] = mysql_fetch_array($result);? What PHP magic is at work here? Thanks.
