mysql_field_name
(PHP 3, PHP 4 )
mysql_field_name -- Get the name of the specified field in a result
Description
string
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");
$dbname = "mydb";
mysql_select_db($dbname, $link)
or 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.
