&reftitle.examples;

The first call to `odbc_result` returns the value of the third field in the current record of the query result. The second function call to `odbc_result` returns the value of the field whose field name is "val" in the current record of the query result. An error occurs if a column number parameter for a field is less than one or exceeds the number of columns (or fields) in the current record. Similarly, an error occurs if a field with a name that is not one of the fieldnames of the table(s) that is(are) being queried.

### `odbc_result` examples

    <?php
    $item_3   = odbc_result($Query_ID, 3);
    $item_val = odbc_result($Query_ID, "val");
    ?>

&reftitle.notes;

Field indices start from 1. Regarding the way binary or long column data is returned refer to `odbc_binmode` and `odbc_longreadlen`.
