fetchAll() works if php version is greater than 5. As Wang suggested, we should write our own function. its easy... i have done so many times for larger database. Store earch rows of the resultset in the array (multidimensional ie. 2). and then work on the array using the loops & conditions $query = "select * from tablename"; $result = mysql_query($query); while($arr = somefunction($result)){ $resultarray[] = $arr; } Hope it works!
