    | maxdb_field_count    (PECL) maxdb_field_count     (no version information, might be only in CVS) maxdb->field_count -- Returns the number of columns for the most recent queryDescriptionProcedural style: int maxdb_field_count  ( resource link ) Object oriented style (method): class maxdb  {  int field_count  ( void  ) } 
     Returns the number of columns for the most recent query on the connection
     represented by the link parameter. This function
     can be useful when using the maxdb_store_result()
     function to determine if the query should have produced a non-empty result
     set or not without knowing the nature of the query.
    Return valuesAn integer representing the number of fields in a result setExample
      | Example 1. Object oriented style | <?php
$maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");
maxdb_report (MAXDB_REPORT_OFF);
$maxdb->query("DROP TABLE friends");
maxdb_report (MAXDB_REPORT_ERROR);
$maxdb->query( "CREATE TABLE friends (id int, name varchar(20))"); 
 
$maxdb->query( "INSERT INTO friends VALUES (1,'Hartmut')");
$maxdb->query( "INSERT INTO friends VALUES (2, 'Ulf')");
if ($maxdb->field_count()) {
   /* this was a select/show or describe query */
   $result = $maxdb->store_result();
   
   /* process resultset */
   $row = $result->fetch_row();
   /* free resultset */
   $result->close();
}
/* close connection */
$maxdb->close();

 | Example 2. Procedural style | <?php
$link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");
maxdb_report (MAXDB_REPORT_OFF);
maxdb_query($link,"DROP TABLE friends");
maxdb_report (MAXDB_REPORT_ERROR);
maxdb_query($link, "CREATE TABLE friends (id int, name varchar(20))"); 
 
maxdb_query($link, "INSERT INTO friends VALUES (1,'Hartmut')");
maxdb_query($link, "INSERT INTO friends VALUES (2, 'Ulf')");
if (maxdb_field_count($link)) {
   /* this was a select/show or describe query */
   $result = maxdb_store_result($link);
   
   /* process resultset */
   $row = maxdb_fetch_row($result);
   /* free resultset */
   maxdb_free_result($result);
}
/* close connection */
maxdb_close($link);
