How can I populate an array with records from database? I can populate 1 dimension array with just the columns in the database but how do I use the multidimensional array to keep the whole row of records? For example: ## Table Test ## ID | Name | Tel 1 | John | 1236549 2 | Peter | 6549844 I want to keep John and his phone number into an 2D array which I just need to call $array[1][0] it will return me John 1236549. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
