mysql_field_seek

bool mysql_field_seek(mysql result result_handle, int field_offset) 

result_handle	Result handle returned by mysql_db_query() or mysql_query()
field_offset	Field offset to move to

Jumps to a specific field in a MySQL query result.

Returns:

TRUE on success; FALSE on error

Description:

mysql_field_seek() moves the internal pointer in a MySQL query result set to a specific field. Field offsets start at 0.

To be honest, this function is of very limited use. Only the mysql_fetch_field() function is affected by it, using the field offset set by mysql_field_seek() if a field offset is not specified in the call to mysql_fetch_field().

Version:

PHP 3+, PHP 4+
