mssql_result

Get result data

&reftitle.description; `string` `mssql_result` `resource` `result` `int` `row` `mixed` `field`

`mssql_result` returns the contents of one cell from a MS SQL result set.

&reftitle.parameters;

`result`

- The result resource that is being evaluated. This result comes from a call to `mssql_query`.

`row`

- The row number.

`field`

- Can be the field's offset, the field's name or the field's table dot field's name (tablename.fieldname). If the column name has been aliased ('select foo as bar from...'), it uses the alias instead of the column name.

  Specifying a numeric offset for the `field` argument is much quicker than specifying a `fieldname` or `tablename.fieldname` argument.

&reftitle.returnvalues;

Returns the contents of the specified cell.

### `mssql_result` example

    <?php
    // Send a select query to MSSQL
    $query = mssql_query('SELECT [username] FROM [php].[dbo].[userlist]');

    // Check if there were any records
    if (!mssql_num_rows($query)) {
        echo 'No records found';
    } else {
        for ($i = 0; $i < mssql_num_rows($query); ++$i) {
            echo mssql_result($query, $i, 'username'), PHP_EOL;
        }
    }

    // Free the query result
    mssql_free_result($query);
    ?>

### Faster alternative to above example

    <?php
    // Send a select query to MSSQL
    $query = mssql_query('SELECT [username] FROM [php].[dbo].[userlist]');

    // Check if there were any records
    if (!mssql_num_rows($query)) {
        echo 'No records found';
    } else {
        while ($row = mssql_fetch_array($query)) {
            echo $row['username'], PHP_EOL;
        }
    }

    // Free the query result
    mssql_free_result($query);
    ?>

&reftitle.notes;

When working on large result sets, you should consider using one of the functions that fetch an entire row (specified below). As these functions return the contents of multiple cells in one function call, they're MUCH quicker than `mssql_result`.

Recommended high-performance alternatives:

- `mssql_fetch_row`
- `mssql_fetch_array`
- `mssql_fetch_assoc`
- `mssql_fetch_object`
