mysql_data_seek
(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)
mysql_data_seek -- Move internal result pointer
Description
bool
mysql_data_seek ( resource result, int row_number )
mysql_data_seek() moves the internal row
pointer of the MySQL result associated with the specified result
identifier to point to the specified row number. The next call
to mysql_fetch_row() would return that row.
row_number starts at 0. The
row_number should be a value in the range from 0 to
mysql_num_rows() - 1. However if the result set
is empty (mysql_num_rows() == 0), a seek to 0 will
fail with a E_WARNING and
mysql_data_seek() will return FALSE.
Parameters
-
result
The result resource that
is being evaluated. This result comes from a call to
mysql_query().
- row_number
The desired row number of the new result pointer.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

<?php $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password'); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } $db_selected = mysql_select_db('sample_db'); if (!$db_selected) { die('Could not select database: ' . mysql_error()); } $query = 'SELECT last_name, first_name FROM friends'; $result = mysql_query($query); if (!$result) { die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error()); } /* fetch rows in reverse order */ for ($i = mysql_num_rows($result) - 1; $i >= 0; $i--) { if (!mysql_data_seek($result, $i)) { echo "Cannot seek to row $i: " . mysql_error() . "\n"; continue; }
if (!($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))) { continue; }
echo $row['last_name'] . ' ' . $row['first_name'] . "<br />\n"; }
