mysql_result() returns the
contents of one cell from a MySQL result set. The field
argument can be the field's offset, or the field's name, or
the field's table dot field name (tablename.fieldname). If
the column name has been aliased ('select foo as bar
from...'), use the alias instead of the column name.
When working on large result sets, you should consider
using one of the functions that fetch an entire row
(specified below). As these functions return the contents of
multiple cells in one function call, they're MUCH quicker
than mysql_result(). Also, note that
specifying a numeric offset for the field argument is much
quicker than specifying a fieldname or tablename.fieldname
argument.
Calls to mysql_result() should
not be mixed with calls to other functions that deal with the
result set.
Recommended high-performance alternatives:
mysql_fetch_row(),
mysql_fetch_array(), and
mysql_fetch_object().
