There is no performance/speed issue, the two are identical in speed. This is a personal preference issue. Although, extract() does not work on objects, only arrays.
Also, when using _fetch_array, use the second optional parameter, for example: $row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC); Or just use mysql_fetch_assoc(). Regarding extract(), if this is the desired affect (as proposed in the original question), then: SELECT foo FROM bar extract($row); print $foo; Now, mysql_fetch_row is _slightly_ faster then both of these but who's counting.
