Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. That means, that the behaviour of this function, this function name, in concreto ANYTHING documented here can change in a future release of PHP WITHOUT NOTICE. Be warned, and use this function at your own risk.

Returns: TRUE on success, FALSE on failure.

fbsql_data_seek() moves the internal row pointer of the FrontBase result associated with the specified result identifier to point to the specified row number. The next call to fbsql_fetch_row() would return that row.

<?php
    $link = fbsql_pconnect ("localhost", "_SYSTEM", "secret")
        or die ("Could not connect");

    fbsql_select_db ("samp_db")
        or die ("Could not select database");

    $query = "SELECT last_name, first_name FROM friends;";
    $result = fbsql_query ($query)
        or die ("Query failed");

    # fetch rows in reverse order

    for ($i = fbsql_num_rows ($result) - 1; $i >=0; $i--) {
        if (!fbsql_data_seek ($result, $i)) {
            printf ("Cannot seek to row %d\n", $i);
            continue;
        }

        if(!($row = fbsql_fetch_object ($result)))
            continue;

        printf("%s %s<BR>\n", $row->last_name, $row->first_name);
    }
