Question

Now we can access the values from mysql result set based on the index and/or with the name.

For eg: SELECT name,id FROM tbl_user

name = resultset[0] OR name = resultset[‘name’]

I need to retrieve the values from mysql result set with only index or with name.

i am using PHP.

You can get result row as an associative array, a numeric array, or both.
mysql_fetch_array can be used. Use make of the second optional parameter to get the result in desired array type.

array mysql_fetch_array ( resource $result [, int $result_type = MYSQL_BOTH ] )

result type can be MYSQL_ASSOC, MYSQL_NUM or MYSQL_BOTH (default)
you can also use the mysql_fetch_assoc, if you need result only an associative array.
