Unable to assign value to php array

Question

I am creating an array in php by assigning values retrieved from database. When I print the array it is displaying array as output and not its contents. However it does retrieve values from mysql.

$resultset=mysql_query("select isbn from tbl_book where publisherid='$publisherid'");
/***Retrieve Books*****/
while($resultISBNArray = mysql_fetch_assoc($resultset))
{
$isbn = $resultISBNArray["isbn"];
$myArr[]=$isbn;
}
echo $myArr

echoing any array always prints "Array". You need to pick individual values in the array (echo $myArr[0]) or use something like print_r().

You can not print an array. You have todo something like var_dump($myArr);
