how use mysql_data_seek with PDO?

Question

I want use mysql_data_seek with PDO from google search I found that it should looks like this:

$row0 = $result->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC, PDO::FETCH_ORI_ABS         


        

Answer 1

the PDO 'cursor' default is PDO::CURSOR_FWDONLY that means that cursor can't back to zero like it happens with mysql_data_seek to allow cursor back to zero it necessary define use 'scrollable cursor'

example:

$db->prepare($query, array(PDO::ATTR_CURSOR => PDO::CURSOR_SCROLL));

before use it like this:

$row0 = $result->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC, PDO::FETCH_ORI_ABS, 0);
