mysql_result
Get result data
This extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information. Alternatives to this function include:
mysqli_data_seek in conjunction with
mysqli_field_seek and
mysqli_fetch_field

PDOStatement::fetchColumn

string mysql_result(resource result,
int row,
mixed field= =0);
Retrieves the contents of one cell from a MySQL result set.
When working on large result sets, you should consider using one
of the functions that fetch an entire row (specified below). As
these functions return the contents of multiple cells in one
function call, they're MUCH quicker than
mysql_result
.
Also, note that specifying a numeric offset for the field
argument is much quicker than specifying a fieldname or
tablename.fieldname argument.
result
The result resource that is being
evaluated. This result comes from a call to
mysql_query
.
row
The row number from the result that's being
retrieved. Row numbers start at 0
.
field
The name or offset of the field being retrieved.
It can be the field's offset, the field's name, or the field's table dot field name (tablename.fieldname). If the column name has been aliased ('select foo as bar from...'), use the alias instead of the column name. If undefined, the first field is retrieved.
The contents of one cell from a MySQL result set on success, or
false
on failure.
Example 6.51 mysql_result
example
<?php $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password'); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } if (!mysql_select_db('database_name')) { die('Could not select database: ' . mysql_error()); } $result = mysql_query('SELECT name FROM work.employee'); if (!$result) { die('Could not query:' . mysql_error()); } echo mysql_result($result, 2); // outputs third employee's name mysql_close($link); ?>
Calls to
mysql_result
should not be mixed with calls to other functions that deal
with the result set.
