Examples

Example #1 A mysql_fetch_lengths() example

<?php
$result
= mysql_query("SELECT id,email FROM people WHERE id = '42'");
if (!
$result) {
echo
'Could not run query: ' . mysql_error();
exit;
}
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
$lengths = mysql_fetch_lengths($result);

print_r($row);
print_r($lengths);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Array ( [id] => 42 [email] => user@example.com ) Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => 16 )
