Based on the information at php.net if "mysql_fetch_array" is run with
"MYSQL_NUM" it would be the equivalent of "mysql_fetch_row". Performance-wise
I'm not sure how they would differ but functionally they appear to do the same.
With "mysql_fetch_array" though, that can use the "MYSQL_ASSOC" option to return
an associative array. Probably just depends on what you need.
