Question

Answer 1

you can use mysql_result function still need to do some coding

mysql_result($result,$row_num,$fieldname) ;

retrieves $row_num 'th columes $field_name field .

and following snippet can be taken as an example

$con =mysql_connect($host,$uname,$passwd);
mysql_select_db($dbname,$con);
$result = mysql_query($query,$con);
$arr = array();
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($result);
for($i=0;$i<$numrows;$i++) {
    $arr[] = mysql_result($result,$i,$fieldname);
}

this stores every elements of column $fieldname to array $arr
