Thanks Captain. Simple to me equals elegant.

BTW, I thought of even simplifying it (after the suitable db login stuff):

$sql = "The actual sequel call";
$rsc = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($rsc)) {
print implode(',', $row) . '<br>';
}

No need to even create an array of rows.
