Issues returning an associative array from a function.

My function for retrieving data from database:

function db_retrieve($query)
{
  // user password etc.
  require_once('db_info.php');

  // Initialise function vars.
  $q_success = 0;    // Query successful?
  $error_text = "";  // Error text (if any).

  $db_handle = mysqli_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass, $db_name);
  $db_found = mysqli_select_db($db_handle, $db_name);

  // Database found
  if($db_found)
  {
    // Query database.
    $result = mysqli_query($db_handle, $query);

    // Database query was successful.
    if($result)
    {
      // Flag showing our DB query was successful.
      $q_success = 1;

      //insert data into an associative array.
      $row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
    }
    // Something went wrong with our SQL query.
    else
    {
      $q_success = 0;
      $error_text = "Error";
    }
  }
  // Database was not found
  else
  {
    $q_success = 0;
    $error_text = "Database not found";
  }

  return array($q_success, $error_text, $row);
}

Usage of the function

list($success, $error, $data) = db_retrieve($sql);

foreach($data as $val)
{
  echo "<img src=\"". $data['path'] ."\"/><br>";  // 'path' is the table row in the database.
}

I decided to implement this database query function as the code will be replecated dozens of times throughout my project otherwise. The function successfully returns $q_success and $error_text, but the issue lies with $row.

using var_dump($data); confirms this.

The problem i have is that when my function returns the associative array, $row only contains the first element of the array and annoyingly displays it 4 times.
For example, if my database query returns lets say 10 rows, instead of my code outputting all 10 rows, it will only output the first row 4 times.

I think the way i am returning my sql query $row is wrong. Any ideas on this would be great.

Thanks.
