Q:

Function for putting all database table to an array

I have written a function to print database table to an array like this
$db_array=  
 Array(
    ID=>1,
    PARENTID =>1,
    TITLE => LIPSUM,
    TEXT =>LIPSUM
    )

My function is:
function dbToArray($table)
                        {
                          $allArrays =array();
                          $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table");
                          $dbRow = mysql_fetch_array($query);
                            for ($i=0; $i<count($dbRow)  ; $i++)
                                {
                                   $allArrays[$i] =  $dbRow; 
                                }
                            $txt .='<pre>';
                            $txt .= print_r($allArrays);
                            $txt .= '</pre>';
                            return $txt;
                        }

Anything wrong in my function. Any help is appreciated about my problem. Thanks in advance

A:

Im not sure your function will get all the rows returned by the database. mysql_fetch_array() returns only one row. So the for loop is pretty pointless.
Instead you should something like this instead of the for loop. 
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query) {
  $allArrays[] = $row;
}

by the way if you still want to use the for loop you could try something like this. But what would be the point? the while loop works perfectly for this.
$numRows = mysql_num_rows($query);
for($i = 0; $i < $numRows; $i++) {
  $allArrays[$i] = mysql_fetch_array($query);
}
