	      sqlsrv_fetch(3) example

	       The following example demonstrates how to retrieve a row with sqlsrv_fetch(3) and get the row fields with sqlsrv_get_field(3).

	      <?php
	      $serverName = "serverNamesqlexpress";
	      $connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"dbName", "UID"=>"username", "PWD"=>"password");
	      $conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);
	      if( $conn === false ) {
		   die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
	      }

	      $sql = "SELECT Name, Comment
		      FROM Table_1
		      WHERE ReviewID=1";
	      $stmt = sqlsrv_query( $conn, $sql);
	      if( $stmt === false ) {
		   die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
	      }

	      // Make the first (and in this case, only) row of the result set available for reading.
	      if( sqlsrv_fetch( $stmt ) === false) {
		   die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
	      }

	      // Get the row fields. Field indeces start at 0 and must be retrieved in order.
	      // Retrieving row fields by name is not supported by sqlsrv_get_field.
	      $name = sqlsrv_get_field( $stmt, 0);
	      echo "$name: ";

	      $comment = sqlsrv_get_field( $stmt, 1);
	      echo $comment;
	      ?>
