    They're essentially the same. The only difference being that one returns an array, and another an object. Indirectly, that means when using the object variant you can only access the data by field names (and not offsets).

      on a related note, I often like to use mysql_fetch_assoc() so I can call values by their name instead of array position.

      You're right.
