# mysql_field_seek

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

mysql_field_seek — Set result pointer to a specified field offset

Warning

This extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future. 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_field_seek()
- PDOStatement::fetch() using the `cursor_orientation` and `offset` parameters

### Description

bool mysql_field_seek ( resource `$result` , int `$field_offset` )

Seeks to the specified field offset. If the next call to mysql_fetch_field() doesn't include a field offset, the field offset specified in mysql_field_seek() will be returned.

### Parameters

`result`

  The result resource that is being evaluated. This result comes from a call to mysql_query().

`field_offset`

  The numerical field offset. The `field_offset` starts at 0. If `field_offset` does not exist, an error of level `E_WARNING` is also issued.

### Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.
