Reading data from mysql into multi-dim array

How do I get data returned from mysql into a multi-dimensional array?
URL

$query="select * from table";
$result=mysql_query($query);

while ($data[]=mysql_fetch_row($result)){}

This will create $data as a two dimensional array where the first index is the row (starting at 0) and the second index is the field element (starting at 0). Alternately, you can make the second element the name of the table field with:

while ($data[]=mysql_fetch_array($result)){}
