# sqlsrv_fetch

(No version information available, might only be in SVN)

sqlsrv_fetch — Makes the next row in a result set available for reading

### Description

mixed sqlsrv_fetch ( resource `$stmt` [, int `$row` [, int `$offset` ]] )

Makes the next row in a result set available for reading. Use sqlsrv_get_field() to read the fields of the row.

### Parameters

`stmt`

  A statement resource created by executing sqlsrv_query() or sqlsrv_execute().

`row`

  The row to be accessed. This parameter can only be used if the specified statement was prepared with a scrollable cursor. In that case, this parameter can take on one of the following values:

  - SQLSRV_SCROLL_NEXT
  - SQLSRV_SCROLL_PRIOR
  - SQLSRV_SCROLL_FIRST
  - SQLSRV_SCROLL_LAST
  - SQLSRV_SCROLL_ABSOLUTE
  - SQLSRV_SCROLL_RELATIVE
`offset`

  Specifies the row to be accessed if the row parameter is set to `SQLSRV_SCROLL_ABSOLUTE` or `SQLSRV_SCROLL_RELATIVE`. Note that the first row in a result set has index 0.

### Return Values

Returns `TRUE` if the next row of a result set was successfully retrieved, `FALSE` if an error occurs, and `NULL` if there are no more rows in the result set.

### Examples

Example #1 sqlsrv_fetch() 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 indeces 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;
?>`
