Description:
------------
Hello,

The other x_fetch_array functions you provide return an associative AND numeric array.

We are are trying to port our code to odbc_fetch_array (from sqlite_fetch_array and mysql_fetch_array) and the code has mixed numeric and associative references.

Because of the mixture we cannot use the odbc_fetch_array function, as any returned arrays that are dependent on numeric  arrays fail.

Why is this not a consistent function, and is there a workaround ?


Is there a way to have the fetch_array function return a $row array for odbc with a numeric and associative index.


Reproduce code:
---------------
We have a class for each database called xxxxDatabase where xxxx = sqlite, mysql or odbc.

This is the fetch_array function;

function fetch_array($result) {

$row = odbc_fetch_array($result);

return $row

}

This only returns an associative array.

function fetch_array($result) {

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

return $row

}

This return an associative and numeric array



Expected result:
----------------
To get an array that contains associative AND numeric indexes

Actual result:
--------------
Associative only - not consistent with other database fetch array functions

This won't be implemented; use PDO for consistent behavior
across databases, or use the simple workaround:

  array_values($row) + $row
