     <function>mysql_result</function> returns the contents of one
     cell from a MySQL result set.  The field argument can be the
     field's offset, or 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.

     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
     <function>mysql_result</function>.  Also, note that specifying a
     numeric offset for the field argument is much quicker than
     specifying a fieldname or tablename.fieldname argument.
    </para>
    <para>
     Calls to <function>mysql_result</function> should not be mixed
     with calls to other functions that deal with the result set.
    </para>
    <para>
     Recommended high-performance alternatives:
     <function>mysql_fetch_row</function>,
     <function>mysql_fetch_array</function>, and
     <function>mysql_fetch_object</function>.
