       The type of array that is to be fetched. It's a constant and can
       take the following values: <constant>MYSQL_ASSOC</constant>, 
       <constant>MYSQL_NUM</constant>, and
       <constant>MYSQL_BOTH</constant>.

 <refsect1 role="returnvalues">
  &reftitle.returnvalues;
  <para>
   Returns an array of strings that corresponds to the fetched row, or &false;
   if there are no more rows. The type of returned array depends on
   how <parameter>result_type</parameter> is defined. By using 
   <constant>MYSQL_BOTH</constant> (default), you'll get an array with both 
   associative and number indices. Using <constant>MYSQL_ASSOC</constant>, you 
   only get associative indices (as <function>mysql_fetch_assoc</function> 
   works), using <constant>MYSQL_NUM</constant>, you only get number indices 
   (as <function>mysql_fetch_row</function> works).
  </para>
  <para>
   If two or more columns of the result have the same field names,
   the last column will take precedence. To access the other column(s)
   of the same name, you must use the numeric index of the column or
   make an alias for the column. For aliased columns, you cannot
   access the contents with the original column name.
