<para>
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>.

&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.

An important thing to note is that using
