maxdb_field_seek

(no version information, might be only in CVS)

result->field_seek -- Set result pointer to a specified field offset

## Description

Procedural style:

bool maxdb_field_seek ( resource result, int fieldnr )

Object oriented style (method):

class result {
bool field_seek ( int fieldnr )
}

Sets the field cursor to the given offset. The next call to maxdb_fetch_field() will retrieve the field definition of the column associated with that offset.

## Example

Example 1. Object oriented style
`<?php $maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB"); /* check connection */ if (maxdb_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error()); exit(); } $query = "SELECT name, cno from hotel.customer ORDER BY cno"; if ($result = $maxdb->query($query)) { /* Get field information for 2nd column */ $result->field_seek(1); $finfo = $result->fetch_field(); printf("Name: %s\n", $finfo->name); printf("Table: %s\n", $finfo->table); printf("max. Len: %d\n", $finfo->max_length); printf("Flags: %d\n", $finfo->flags); printf("Type: %d\n\n", $finfo->type); $result->close(); } /* close connection */ $maxdb->close(); ?>`

Example 2. Procedural style
`<?php $link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB"); /* check connection */ if (maxdb_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error()); exit(); } $query = "SELECT name, cno from hotel.customer ORDER BY cno"; if ($result = maxdb_query($link, $query)) { /* Get field information for 2nd column */ maxdb_field_seek($result, 1); $finfo = maxdb_fetch_field($result); printf("Name: %s\n", $finfo->name); printf("Table: %s\n", $finfo->table); printf("max. Len: %d\n", $finfo->max_length); printf("Flags: %d\n", $finfo->flags); printf("Type: %d\n\n", $finfo->type); maxdb_free_result($result); } /* close connection */ maxdb_close($link); ?>`

The above examples would produce the following output:

    Name:     NAME
    Table:
    max. Len: 10
    Flags:    -1
    Type:     2
