mysql_fetch_assoc vs mysql_fetch_object

[Paul Lautman]

Are there any benefits to using mysql_fetch_obj ect() instead of
mysql_fetch_ass oc()?

mysql_fetch_ass oc()?returns an assosiative array, mysql_fetch_obj ect()
returns an object that contains the same row-information (name values).

So the syntax used to get the infortion out differs, not the actual content.
mysql_fetch_ass oc()
use
$row["userid"]

mysql_fetch_obj ect()
use
$row->userid

So the benefit would be that if you want an object, you use
mysql_fetch_obj ect().

I am afraid there is nothing more to it.

mysql_fetch_ass oc()?
AFAIK there is only one major difference.
mysql_fetch_ass oc returns an array, mysql_fetch_obj ect() returns an
object that contains the same values as the array.

mysql_fetch_ass oc()
$row["userid"]

mysql_fetch_obj ect()
$row->userid

Yes I know the difference. To me there are adantages of using
mysql_fetch_ass oc() in that you can use the array functions such as
array_walk and uasort(). I was wondering if mysql_fetch_obj ect() brought any
advantages that mysql_fetch_ass oc() did not have?
