note 57731 added to control-structures.while

The while loop below recurses infinitely and simply returns the first result each time: $sqlResult = mysql_query("select column1 from user") $arrayHandle = mysql_fetch_array($mysqlResult, MYSQL_NUM); while ($record=$arrayHandle) { print $record[0]."\n"; } The funny thing is if you pass the Handle straight to the while condition, it works properly! $sqlResult = mysql_query("select column1 from user") while ($record=mysql_fetch_array($mysqlResult, MYSQL_NUM)) { print $record[0]."\n"; } weird!
