sqlsrv_get_field — Gets field data from the currently selected row

### Description

sqlsrv_get_field ( resource `$stmt` , int `$fieldIndex` [, int `$getAsType` ] ) : mixed

Gets field data from the currently selected row. Fields must be accessed in order. Field indices start at 0.

### Parameters

`stmt`

  A statement resource returned by sqlsrv_query() or sqlsrv_execute().

`fieldIndex`

  The index of the field to be retrieved. Field indices start at 0. Fields must be accessed in order. i.e. If you access field index 1, then field index 0 will not be available.

`getAsType`

  The PHP data type for the returned field data. If this parameter is not set, the field data will be returned as its default PHP data type. For information about default PHP data types, see » Default PHP Data Types in the Microsoft SQLSRV documentation.

### Return Values

### Examples

Example #1 sqlsrv_get_field() example

The following example demonstrates how to retrieve a row with sqlsrv_fetch() and get the row fields with sqlsrv_get_field().

`<?php
$serverName = "serverName\sqlexpress";
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"dbName", "UID"=>"username", "PWD"=>"password");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);
if( $conn === false ) {
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
$sql = "SELECT Name, Comment
FROM Table_1
WHERE ReviewID=1";
$stmt = sqlsrv_query( $conn, $sql);
if( $stmt === false ) {
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
// Make the first (and in this case, only) row of the result set available for reading.
if( sqlsrv_fetch( $stmt ) === false) {
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
// Get the row fields. Field indices start at 0 and must be retrieved in order.
// Retrieving row fields by name is not supported by sqlsrv_get_field.
$name = sqlsrv_get_field( $stmt, 0);
echo "$name: ";
$comment = sqlsrv_get_field( $stmt, 1);
echo $comment;
?>`
