Re: Explain recordset

$result holds a "resource id". When you do anything like mysql_fetch_row it sends a request to the database. All results, until you "fetch" them, are kept in MySQL. If you want to store the results away from the DB you will need to do something like: while ($array[] = mysql_fetch_row($result)); That will store all the results into $array...hopefully. -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.
