I totally agree. For small scripts. However, if you are doing 2 or 3
(or more) queries on a script and printing the results, it's much easier
to follow the flow by using the $array[field_name] method as opposed to
using extract() and $field_name method. At least using the associative
array, you can easily see the values that are being printed out for each
specific result set as opposed to guessing, as you would with extract().
It is a *great* function, yes. But I wouldn't use it in larger scripts
using many queries/result sets.
