When using mysql_fetch_array() is it necsessary to specify the second argument - meaning the constant of MYSQL_NUM or MYSQL_ASSOC?
I have seen many examples where it is left out and it is coded:
$row = mysql_fetch_array($sql);
as opposed to
$row = mysql_fetch_array($sql, MYSQL_BOTH);
Note that you can use mysql_fetch_row for the equiv. of MYSQL_NUM and mysql_fetch_assoc() for the equiv. of MYSQL_ASSOC. It's sort of a waste of resources to use mysql_fetch_array() when you really only use one or the other, but a lot of people do it.
