use of php $row variable

Question

Is $row a predefined variable in php (or does it have some other built-in functionality)? I have several times seen it used without prior reference in the code, but haven't found any documentation or explanation about it yet.

$row is not a predefined variable,but it is the most meaningful and hence most used variable name to store a database row. — rjv, Jun 07 '13 at 01:01

No, there is no such a predefined variable, you've just seen a variable declaration/initialization.
