George, Whether you can select into an array directly depends on your database.
In any case, PHP executes database queries and returns a handle or container which is accessed as an array. Here's the example from http://www.php.ca/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-array.php <?php mysql_connect($host, $user, $password); mysql_select_db("database"); $result = mysql_query("select user_id, fullname from table"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "user_id: ".$row["user_id"]."<br>\n"; echo "user_id: ".$row[0]."<br>\n"; echo "fullname: ".$row["fullname"]."<br>\n"; echo "fullname: ".$row[1]."<br>\n"; } mysql_free_result($result); ?> If you want a tutorial on this, Julie Meloni has some really good examples at http://www.thickbook.com and there are others at DevShed and WebMonkey.
