mssql_connect
mssql_data_seek will return false AND trigger a warning ('Bad row offset') if you specify a row outside the result set.
You'll need to check beforehand if the row you are trying to seek to exists. Or you can supress the error and look for the false result, depending on your needs.
To check beforehand (where $result is the result fo your query and $seek is the row number you want to seek to):
<?php
$rowcount = mssql_num_rows($result);
if ($seek >= $rowcount)
{
print ("Trying to seek outside result set!");
}
else
{
if (!mssql_data_seek($result, $seek))
{
print ("Seek failed");
}
else
{
print ("Seek complete");
}
}
?>
To have a 'simpler' way of handling errors by supressing the warning:
<?php
if (!@mssql_data_seek($result, $seek))
{
print ("Seek failed");
}
else
{
print ("Seek complete");
}
?>
