mysql_data_seek — Move internal result pointer
This extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide. Alternatives to this function include:
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 a MySQL fetch function, such as mysql_fetch_assoc(), 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 an E_WARNING
and
mysql_data_seek() will return false
.
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.
Example #1 mysql_data_seek() example
<?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'] . ' ' . $row['first_name'] . "<br />\n";}mysql_free_result($result);?>
Note:
The function mysql_data_seek() can be used in conjunction only with mysql_query(), not with mysql_unbuffered_query().
