result->current_field -- 
     Get current field offset of a result pointer
    
Description
Procedural style:
int 
maxdb_field_tell ( resource result )
Object oriented style (property):
class 
result { 
int current_field
}
 
      Returns the position of the field cursor used for the last
      maxdb_fetch_field() call. This value can
      be used as an argument to maxdb_field_seek().
     
Return Values
     Returns current offset 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 all columns */
 while ($finfo = $result->fetch_field()) {
 
 /* get fieldpointer offset */
 $currentfield = $result->current_field;
 
 printf("Column    %d:\n", $currentfield);
 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 all fields */
 while ($finfo = maxdb_fetch_field($result)) {
 
 /* get fieldpointer offset */
 $currentfield = maxdb_field_tell($result);
 
 printf("Column    %d:\n", $currentfield);
 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:
    
| Column    1:

Table:
max. Len: 10
Flags:    -1
Type:     2
Column    2:
Name:     CNO
Table:
max. Len: 4
Flags:    -1
Type:     0 |
