    | maxdb_field_tell    (PECL) maxdb_field_tell     (no version information, might be only in CVS) result->current_field -- 
     Get current field offset of a result pointer
    DescriptionProcedural 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:
Name:     NAME
Table:
max. Len: 10
Flags:    -1
Type:     2
Column    2:
Name:     CNO
Table:
max. Len: 4
Flags:    -1
Type:     0 |
