maxdb_field_seek
    (PECL)
maxdb_field_seek
    (no version information, might be only in CVS)
result->field_seek -- 
     Set result pointer to a specified field offset
    
Description
Procedural style:
bool 
maxdb_field_seek ( resource result, int fieldnr )
Object oriented style (method):
class 
result { 
bool 
field_seek ( int fieldnr )
}
     Sets the field cursor to the given offset. The next call to maxdb_fetch_field()
     will retrieve the field definition of the column associated with that offset.
    
Note: To seek to the beginning of a row, pass an offset value of zero.
Return values
     maxdb_field_seek() returns previuos value of field cursor.
    
Example
Example 1. Object oriented style 
<?php $maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");
  /* check connection */ if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", 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\n", $finfo->name);    printf("Table:    %s\n", $finfo->table);    printf("max. Len: %d\n", $finfo->max_length);    printf("Flags:    %d\n", $finfo->flags);    printf("Type:     %d\n\n", $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\n", 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\n", $finfo->name);    printf("Table:    %s\n", $finfo->table);    printf("max. Len: %d\n", $finfo->max_length);    printf("Flags:    %d\n", $finfo->flags);    printf("Type:     %d\n\n", $finfo->type);
     maxdb_free_result($result); }
  /* close connection */ maxdb_close($link); ?>

     The above examples would produce the following output:
    
Name:     NAME
Table:
max. Len: 10
Flags:    -1
Type:     2  |
