Traditional Mysql Code

[eluser]rochellecanale[/eluser]
hey guys just want to ask. Can i integrate the traditional Mysql command in my script?
Like:

Code:

$connect = mysql_connect('localhost','root','','databasename')
or die mysql_error();

$query = "SELECT * FROM sampletable";
while(($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) !== FALSE){
     echo $row['id'].
     .
     .
     .
     .
}

because in one of my file i want to retrieve my information using this method... And together with that i want to store my information in a multidimensional array inside my while loop.
