What is difference between mysql_fetch_array and mysql_fetch_object?

These are two different ways of returning elements from a database using a mySQL query. You can also use the method mysql_fetch_row for a third possible method.

Essentially the difference is how the return value is treated.

The array returns an array of values, whilst the object method returns an object, as the names suggest. So the way that you get the data you require out varies depending on which method you use.

Most common is probably mysql_fetch_array.
