note 13392 added to function.mysql-fetch-array.php

The code above is great to write the variable's one time and refer to them when you need to then loop through the next item. In a controled environment, I used this code in a for loop to create columns. You still need to put it in a loop for multiple items. $ary = mysql_fetch_assoc($query_variable); if(is_array($ary)){ while (list($key,$val) = each($ary)) { $$key = $val; } } else { break 1; } I continuely got errors without the else break clause. This breaks me out of my for loop. Hope it helps. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-array.php
