$info = $result->fetch_assoc(); 

What is the differ

Answer 1

fetch_array will give you key/value pairs and with indexes, where as fetch_assoc will give you only the key/value pairs but not with indexes. For example:

//fetch_array output be like:
[name]=>'someName'
[0]=>'someName'
[email]=>'some@some.com'
[1]=>'some@some.com'

//fetch_assoc output be like

[name]=>'someName'
[email]=>'some@some.com'
