note 67512 deleted from function.mysql-fetch-array by bjori

Note Submitter: solutions at lanetech dot co dot uk ---- This might be obvious to some... but this had me puzzling for a while! I needed to count the number of elements returned from a db query. I used $row = @mysql_fetch_array($result) and then a loop using count($row) as the control. I found it was doubling the number of elements because the default return of mysql_fetch_array returns BOTH the associative and numeric versions of the array! I changed the fetch to mysql_fetch_assoc and all is now well. Hope that saves somone a little time!
