db2_result

Returns a single column from a row in the result set

&reftitle.description; ``mixed``null```db2_result` `resource` `stmt` ``int``string```column`

Use `db2_result` to return the value of a specified column in the current row of a result set. You must call `db2_fetch_row` before calling `db2_result` to set the location of the result set pointer.

&reftitle.parameters;

`stmt`

- A valid `stmt` resource.

`column`

- Either an integer mapping to the 0-indexed field in the result set, or a string matching the name of the column.

&reftitle.returnvalues;

Returns the value of the requested field if the field exists in the result set. Returns &null; if the field does not exist, and issues a warning.

### A `db2_result` example

The following example demonstrates how to iterate through a result set with `db2_fetch_row` and retrieve columns from the result set with `db2_result`.

    <?php
    $sql = 'SELECT name, breed FROM animals WHERE weight < ?';
    $stmt = db2_prepare($conn, $sql);
    db2_execute($stmt, array(10));
    while (db2_fetch_row($stmt)) {
        $name = db2_result($stmt, 0);
        $breed = db2_result($stmt, 'BREED');
        print "$name $breed";
    }
    ?>
