| | mysql_field_name (PHP 3, PHP 4 ) mysql_field_name -- Get the name of the specified field in a result Descriptionstring mysql_field_name ( resource result, int field_index)
mysql_field_name() returns the name of the specified field index. result must be a valid result identifier and field_index is the numerical offset of the field. Note: field_index starts at 0.
e.g. The index of the third field would actually be 2, the index of the fourth field would be 3 and so on.
Note: Field names returned by this function are case-sensitive.
Example 1. mysql_field_name() example <?php /* The users table consists of three fields: * user_id * username * password. */ $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password'); if (!$db_selected) { die('Could not set $dbname: ' . mysql_error()); } $dbname = 'mydb'; $db_selected = mysql_select_db($dbname, $link); if (!$db_selected) { die('Could not set $dbname: ' . mysql_error()); } $res = mysql_query('select * from users', $link);
echo mysql_field_name($res, 0) . "\n"; echo mysql_field_name($res, 2); ?> |
The above example would produce the following output: |
For downwards compatibility mysql_fieldname() can also be used. This is deprecated, however. |
