returned by the mysql_query() function in the $result variable.

Next, we use the mysql_fetch_array() function to return the first row from the recordset as an array.

Each subsequent call to mysql_fetch_array() returns the next row in the recordset.

The while loop loops through all the records in the recordset.

To print the value of each row, we use the PHP $row variable ($row['FirstName'] and $row['LastName']).
