result->field_seek -- 
     Set result pointer to a specified field offset
    
Description
Procedural style:
int 
maxdb_field_seek ( object result, int fieldnr )
Object oriented style (method):
class 
result { 
int 
field_seek ( int fieldnr )
}
     Sets the field cursor to the given offset. The next call to maxdb_fetch_field()
     will retrieve the field definition of the column associated with that offset.
    
Note: To seek to the beginning of a row, pass an offset value of zero.
Return values
     maxdb_field_seek() returns previuos value of field cursor.
    
Example
| Example 1. Object oriented style | 
<?php$maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");
 
 /* check connection */
 if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
 printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error());
 exit();
 }
 
 $query = "SELECT name, cno from hotel.customer ORDER BY cno";
 
 if ($result = $maxdb->query($query)) {
 
 /* Get field information for 2nd column */
 $result->field_seek(1);
 $finfo = $result->fetch_field();
 
 printf("Name:     %s\n", $finfo->name);
 printf("Table:    %s\n", $finfo->table);
 printf("max. Len: %d\n", $finfo->max_length);
 printf("Flags:    %d\n", $finfo->flags);
 printf("Type:     %d\n\n", $finfo->type);
 
 $result->close();
 }
 
 /* close connection */
 $maxdb->close();
 ?>

| Example 2. Procedural style | 
<?php$link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");
 
 /* check connection */
 if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
 printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error());
 exit();
 }
 
 $query = "SELECT name, cno from hotel.customer ORDER BY cno";
 
 if ($result = maxdb_query($link, $query)) {
 
 /* Get field information for 2nd column */
 maxdb_field_seek($result, 1);
 $finfo = maxdb_fetch_field($result);
 
 printf("Name:     %s\n", $finfo->name);
 printf("Table:    %s\n", $finfo->table);
 printf("max. Len: %d\n", $finfo->max_length);
 printf("Flags:    %d\n", $finfo->flags);
 printf("Type:     %d\n\n", $finfo->type);
 
 maxdb_free_result($result);
 }
 
 /* close connection */
 maxdb_close($link);
 ?>

     The above examples would produce the following output:
    
| Name:     NAME
Table:
max. Len: 10
Flags:    -1
Type:     2 |
