I have a MySQL database that has a column with a bunch of descriptions. I want those in a PHP array imitating this:

$Description[0] = "Here's a description";
$Description[1] = "Here's another description";
$Description[2] = "Wow, many descriptions";
$Description[3] = "Another one";
$Description[4] = "They just keep going";
...etc

I'm struggling with the while loop logic to make this happen though. Help!

Sorry, I guess I should've specified. I just want to pull the information from my MySQL database and store the values into the $Description array, not echo them out. I don't have the values in the array yet, that's what I need help with. A While loop to pull those from my database and plop them in there. – Cherries0nTopGaming Aug 30 '15 at 3:54
