Fetch array normally retrives the records based on array index. i.e. like $row[1], but if you want to retrieve the record based on the column name we can use fetch_object i.e. $row['username']

just read this script and you will be get cleared <?php mysql_connect("hostname", "user", "password"); mysql_select_db("mydb"); $result = mysql_query("select * from mytable"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) { echo $row->user_id; echo $row->fullname; } mysql_free_result($result); ?>
