mysql_fetch_assoc()?returns an assosiative array, mysql_fetch_object()
returns an object that contains the same row-information (name values).

So the syntax used to get the infortion out differs, not the actual content.
mysql_fetch_assoc()
use
$row["userid"]

mysql_fetch_object()
use
$row->userid

So the benefit would be that if you want an object, you use
mysql_fetch_object().

I am afraid there is nothing more to it.
