                               sesam_num_fields

   (PHP 3 CVS only)
   sesam_num_fields --  Return the number of fields/columns in a result
   set

Description

   int sesam_num_fields ( string result_id)

   After calling sesam_query() with a "select type" query, this function
   gives you the number of columns in the result. Returns an integer
   describing the total number of columns (aka. fields) in the current
   result_id result set or FALSE on error.

   For "immediate" statements, the value zero is returned. The SESAM
   "multiple field" columns count as their respective dimension, i.e., a
   three-column "multiple field" counts as three columns.

   See also: sesam_query() and sesam_field_array() for a way to
   distinguish between "multiple field" columns and regular columns.
