loop mysql results in php outside of mysql query

Question

i am having a bit of issue with a mysql query. for some reason i can echo all all associated rows inside of the mysql query but outside of the query it only return the last row.

The only way that you can fetch all of the records is by using PDO or MySQLi. Here is an example:

$conn =  new mysqli($hostname, $username, $password, $database);

$query = "SELECT * FROM `ACCOUNT` WHERE ACCOUNT_ID='$act_id'";
$results = $conn->query($query);
$resultArray = $results->fetch_all(MYSQLI_ASSOC);

As @esqew said, you need to stop using the mysql_* functions.
