maxdb_field_seek - Set result pointer to a specified field offset

       Procedural style

SYNOPSIS

       bool maxdb_field_seek (resource	$result, int  $fieldnr)

DESCRIPTION

       Object oriented style
       bool maxdb_result::field_seek (int  $fieldnr)

	Sets  the field cursor to the given offset. The next call to maxdb_fetch_field(3) will retrieve the field definition of the column associ-
       ated with that offset.

       Note

	      To seek to the beginning of a row, pass an offset value of zero.

RETURN VALUES

       maxdb_field_seek(3) returns previuos value of field cursor.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Object oriented style

	      <?php
	      $maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");

	      /* check connection */
	      if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
		 printf("Connect failed: %s
", 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
", $finfo->name);
		 printf("Table:    %s
", $finfo->table);
		 printf("max. Len: %d
", $finfo->max_length);
		 printf("Flags:    %d
", $finfo->flags);
		 printf("Type:	   %d

", $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
", 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
", $finfo->name);
		 printf("Table:    %s
", $finfo->table);
		 printf("max. Len: %d
", $finfo->max_length);
		 printf("Flags:    %d
", $finfo->flags);
		 printf("Type:	   %d

", $finfo->type);

		 maxdb_free_result($result);
	      }

	      /* close connection */
	      maxdb_close($link);
	      ?>

       The above example will output something similar to:

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

mysqli_result::$current_field - Get current field offset of a result pointer

       Object oriented style

SYNOPSIS

       int$mysqli_result->current_field ()

DESCRIPTION

       Procedural style
       int mysqli_field_tell (mysqli_result  $result)

	Returns  the  position	of  the  field	cursor	used  for  the	last  mysqli_fetch_field(3) call. This value can be used as an argument to
       mysqli_field_seek(3).

PARAMETERS

	      o $
		result	-Procedural  style  only:   A	result	 set   identifier   returned   by   mysqli_query(3),   mysqli_store_result(3)	or
		mysqli_use_result(3).

RETURN VALUES

	Returns current offset of field cursor.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Object oriented style

	      <?php
	      $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");

		  exit();
	      }

	      $query = "SELECT Name, SurfaceArea from Country ORDER BY Code LIMIT 5";

	      if ($result = $mysqli->query($query)) {

		  /* Get field information for all columns */
		  while ($finfo = $result->fetch_field()) {

		      /* get fieldpointer offset */
		      $currentfield = $result->current_field;

		      printf("Column %d:
", $currentfield);
		      printf("Name:	%s
", $finfo->name);

		  printf("Connect failed: %s
", mysqli_connect_error());
		  exit();
	      }

	      $query = "SELECT Name, SurfaceArea from Country ORDER BY Code LIMIT 5";

	      if ($result = mysqli_query($link, $query)) {

		  /* Get field information for all fields */
		  while ($finfo = mysqli_fetch_field($result)) {

		      /* get fieldpointer offset */
		      $currentfield = mysqli_field_tell($result);

		      printf("Column %d:
", $currentfield);
		      printf("Name:	%s
", $finfo->name);
		      printf("Table:	%s

		  }
		  mysqli_free_result($result);
	      }

	      /* close connection */
	      mysqli_close($link);
	      ?>

	      The above examples will output:

	      Name:	Name
	      Table:	Country
	      max. Len: 11
	      Flags:	1
