Name

mysql_field_seek

Synopsis

MYSQL_FIELD_OFFSET mysql_field_seek(MYSQL_RES *result, MYSQL_FIELD_OFFSET offset)

Seeks to the given field of the current row of the result set. The position set by this function is used when mysql_fetch_field is called. The MYSQL_FIELD_OFFSET value passed should be the return value of a mysql_field_tell call (or another mysql_field_seek). Using the value will seek to the beginning of the row. The return value is the position of the cursor before the function was called.

Example

MYSQL_FIELD field;

/* Seek back to the beginning of the row */
old_pos = mysql_field_seek(results, 0);
/* Fetch the first field of the row */
field = mysql_field_field(results);
/* Go back to where you where */
mysql_field_seek(results, old_pos);
