This function emulates the ASP GetRows function. It creates a 2 dimensional array of the data set where the :
1st dimension is the row number of the data 2nd dimension are the data fields

ASP(VBScript), from time to time, has some neat features. One is a function called GetRows, which pertains to the Recordset object. Its purpose is to pull the entire recordset into a 2d array and close the connection to free resources. This type of functionality can be quite useful in a high load environment. So I thought it would duplicate the functionality with PHP. So here it is...
<? function GetRows($handle) { /* This function emulates the ASP GetRows function. It creates a 2 dimensional array of the data set where the :
1st dimension is the row number of the data 2nd dimension are the data fields
Returns a two dimensional array if there are record or false if no records come out of the query */
if (mysql_num_rows($handle)>0){
//initialize the array $RsArray1 = array();
//loop thru the recordset while ($rows = mysql_fetch_array($handle)) { $RsArray1[] = $rows; } //wend return $RsArray1; }else{ //no records in recordset so return false return false; } //end if //close the connection mysql_close($handle);
} //end function ?>
