php - Use mysql_fetch_array() with foreach() instead of while()

Question

i want to know how do we convert the following code to work with foreach

$query_select = "SELECT * FROM shouts ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 8;"; 

    $result_select = mysql_query($query_select) or die(mysql_error());

    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result_select)) {
        $ename = stripslashes($row['name']);
        $eemail = stripcslashes($row['email']);
        $epost = stripslashes($row['post']);
        $eid = $row['id'];

        $grav_url = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=".md5(strtolower($eemail))."&size=70";

        echo ('<img src = "' . $grav_url . '" alt="Gravatar">'.'<br/>');

        echo $eid . '<br/>';

        echo $ename . '<br/>';

        echo $eemail . '<br/>';

        echo $epost . '<br/><br/><br/><br/>';

You can code like this:

$query_select = "SELECT * FROM shouts ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 8;";
$result_select = mysql_query($query_select) or die(mysql_error());
$rows = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result_select))
    $rows[] = $row;
foreach($rows as $row){ 
    $ename = stripslashes($row['name']);
    $eemail = stripcslashes($row['email']);
    $epost = stripslashes($row['post']);
    $eid = $row['id'];

    $grav_url = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=".md5(strtolower($eemail))."&size=70";

    echo ('<img src = "' . $grav_url . '" alt="Gravatar">'.'<br/>');

    echo $eid . '<br/>';

    echo $ename . '<br/>';

    echo $eemail . '<br/>';

    echo $epost . '<br/><br/><br/><br/>';
}

As you can see, it's still need a loop while to get data from mysql_fetch_array
