I'm reading a book on php that has nothing to do with dreamweaver. It's just teaching code. As I'm reading I'm think wow dreamweaver automates most of this. But when I look at the code dreamweaver produces I get a little confused. Dreamweaver uses recordsets to pull information out of database. In relation to php, what is a recordset considered. an array?

It's considered a recordest. If you tried to just print it, you would get the output of
Resource id
You cannot access it as an array, rather you need to access it with special functions... for example if it were a recordset from a mySQL database you would use
mysql_fetch_assoc(); or mysql_fetch_row();
To get a row.
Logically, recordsets are similar to arrays of arrays.

More accurately, the resource handles used by PHP's database access functions are more closely related to file handles than anything.
The resource handle does not store the data -- it just provides information as to how PHP can get to the data.
