OK. I use:
while ($mydata = mysql_fetch_object($news))
{
$authors = explode(;, $mydata-AS);
}
Then why Invalid argument supplied for foreach
, MYSQL_ASSOC);
Or just use mysql_fetch_assoc(). Regarding extract(), if this is the
desired affect (as proposed in the original question), then:
SELECT foo FROM bar
extract($row);
print $foo;
Now, mysql_fetch_row is _slightly_ faster then both of these but
