mysql_real_escape_string
mysql_result() will throw E_WARNING if mysql_query returns 0 rows. This is unlike any of the mysql_fetch_* functions so be careful of this if you have E_WARNING turned on in error_reporting(). You might want to check mysql_num_rows() before calling mysql_result()
mysql_result
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PECL mysql:1.0)
mysql_result — Get result data
Description
Retrieves the contents of one cell from a MySQL result set.
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.
Parameters
- result
-
The result resource that is being evaluated. This result comes from a call to mysql_query().
- row
-
The row number from the result that's being retrieved. Row numbers start at 0.
- field
-
The name or offset of the field being retrieved.
It can be the field's offset, 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. If undefined, the first field is retrieved.
Return Values
The contents of one cell from a MySQL result set on success, or FALSE on failure.
Examples
Example #1 mysql_result() example
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
$result = mysql_query('SELECT name FROM work.employee');
if (!$result) {
die('Could not query:' . mysql_error());
}
echo mysql_result($result, 2); // outputs third employee's name
mysql_close($link);
?>
Notes
Note: Calls to mysql_result() should not be mixed with calls to other functions that deal with the result set.

//updated error handling for mysql_evaluate
function mysql_evaluate($query, $default_value=0) {
if (!$result=mysql_query($query)) {
return 0;
}
if (mysql_num_rows($result)==0)
return $default_value;
else
return mysql_result($result,0);
}
// same applies for the mysql_evaluate_array() function

two simple but very useful functions, for converting a query to a value or an array:
<?php
function mysql_evaluate($query, $default_value="undefined") {
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (mysql_num_rows($result)==0)
return $default_value;
else
return mysql_result($result,0);
}
function mysql_evaluate_array($query) {
$result = mysql_query($query);
$values = array();
for ($i=0; $i<mysql_num_rows($result); ++$i)
array_push($values, mysql_result($result,$i));
return $values;
}
?>

Usage examples:
<?php
$customer_count = mysql_evaluate("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM customers");
$customer_names = mysql_evaluate_array("SELECT name FROM customers");
$customer_type = mysql_evaluate("SELECT type FROM customers WHERE name='$name'", "DEFAULT_TYPE");
?>

if you want to do something based on the fact that the data is the same in the next row, then looking ahead is easy with this.
<?php
$i=0;
$rows=mysql_num_rows($result);
while($i < $rows) {
$x = mysql_result($result, $i, 0);
if ($x = mysql_result($result, $i+1, 0)) {
echo "It's the same thing!";
}
}
?>

If you want to fetch the result from a mysql query similar to one of these two queries...
$query = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table");
$query = mysql_query("SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()");
... you would use mysql_result() like shown below to retrieve the output as an int.
$result = mysql_result($query, 0, 0);
