mysql_data_seek Move internal result pointer Description boolmysql_data_seek resourceresult_identifier introw_number &return.success; 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;. The function mysql_data_seek can be used in conjunction only with mysql_query, not with mysql_unbuffered_query. <function>mysql_data_seek</function> example = 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'] . ' ' . $row['first_name'] . "
\n"; } mysql_free_result($result); ?> ]]>
