mysql_result
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PECL mysql:1.0)
mysql_result — Get result data
Description
string mysql_result
(
resource $result
,
int $row
[,
mixed $field
] )
When working on large result sets, you should consider using one
of the functions that fetch an entire row (specified below). As
these functions return the contents of multiple cells in one
function call, they're MUCH quicker than
mysql_result(). Also, note that specifying a
numeric offset for the field argument is much quicker than
specifying a fieldname or tablename.fieldname argument.
Parameters
-
result
-
The result resource that
is being evaluated. This result comes from a call to
mysql_query().
-
row
-
The row number from the result that's being retrieved. Row numbers
start at 0.
-
field
-
The name or offset of the field being retrieved.
It can be the field's offset, the field's name, or the field's table
dot field name (tablename.fieldname). If the column name has been
aliased ('select foo as bar from...'), use the alias instead of the
column name. If undefined, the first field is retrieved.
Return Values
The contents of one cell from a MySQL result set on success, or
FALSE on failure.
Examples
Example #1 mysql_result() example
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
$result = mysql_query('SELECT name FROM work.employee');
if (!$result) {
die('Could not query:' . mysql_error());
}
echo mysql_result($result, 2); mysql_close($link);
?>
Notes
Note:
Calls to mysql_result() should not be mixed
with calls to other functions that deal with the result set.
