TalkPHP - View Single Post - Assigning variables and their values from ARRAYS

The use of discrete global variables for something like this seems a little excessive. The data pattern is that of a simple array with $munitn being associated with some value. I can't see why using many different variables would be preferred over a simple array.

PHP Code:


			
$munit = array ();

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))

{

    $munit[$row['munit']] = (int) $row['mvar'];

}

var_dump($munit);
