Or you could try this if you don't know exactly what row your cursor may end up on while running the script.

printf "Please Enter User Name:\n\t\t\t"
read username

Or, for output on the same line.

printf "Please Enter User Name: "
read username

db2_fetch_array - Returns an array, indexed by column position, representing a row in a result set

SYNOPSIS
array db2_fetch_array (resource $stmt, [int $row_number = -1]) DESCRIPTION
Returns an array, indexed by column position, representing a row in a result set. The columns are 0-indexed. PARAMETERS
o $stmt - A valid stmt resource containing a result set. o $row_number - Requests a specific 1-indexed row from the result set. Passing this parameter results in a PHP warning if the result set uses a forward-only cursor. RETURN VALUES
Returns a 0-indexed array with column values indexed by the column position representing the next or requested row in the result set. Returns FALSE if there are no rows left in the result set, or if the row requested by $row_number does not exist in the result set. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Iterating through a forward-only cursor If you call db2_fetch_array(3) without a specific row number, it automatically retrieves the next row in the result set. <?php $sql = "SELECT id, name, breed, weight FROM animals ORDER BY breed"; $stmt = db2_prepare($conn, $sql); $result = db2_execute($stmt); while ($row = db2_fetch_array($stmt)) { printf ("%-5d %-16s %-32s %10s ", $row[0], $row[1], $row[2], $row[3]); } ?> The above example will output: 0 Pook cat 3.20 5 Rickety Ride goat 9.70 2 Smarty horse 350.00 Example #2 Retrieving specific rows with db2_fetch_array(3) from a scrollable cursor If your result set uses a scrollable cursor, you can call db2_fetch_array(3) with a specific row number. The following example retrieves every other row in the result set, starting with the second row. <?php $sql = "SELECT id, name, breed, weight FROM animals ORDER BY breed"; $result = db2_exec($stmt, $sql, array('cursor' => DB2_SCROLLABLE)); $i=2; while ($row = db2_fetch_array($result, $i)) { printf ("%-5d %-16s %-32s %10s ", $row[0], $row[1], $row[2], $row[3]); $i = $i + 2; } ?> The above example will output: 0 Pook cat 3.20 5 Rickety Ride goat 9.70 2 Smarty horse 350.00 SEE ALSO
