### `sqlsrv_get_field` example

The following example demonstrates how to retrieve a row with `sqlsrv_fetch` and get the row fields with `sqlsrv_get_field`.

    <?php
    $serverName = "serverName\sqlexpress";
    $connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"dbName", "UID"=>"username", "PWD"=>"password");
    $conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);
    if( $conn === false ) {
         die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
    }

    $sql = "SELECT Name, Comment
            FROM Table_1
            WHERE ReviewID=1";
    $stmt = sqlsrv_query( $conn, $sql);
    if( $stmt === false ) {
         die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
    }

    // Make the first (and in this case, only) row of the result set available for reading.
    if( sqlsrv_fetch( $stmt ) === false) {
         die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
    }

    // Get the row fields. Field indices start at 0 and must be retrieved in order.
    // Retrieving row fields by name is not supported by sqlsrv_get_field.
    $name = sqlsrv_get_field( $stmt, 0);
    echo "$name: ";

    $comment = sqlsrv_get_field( $stmt, 1);
    echo $comment;
    ?>
