This is a global variable that determines the behavior of a fetched record if the pointer is advanced beyond the boundaries of a recordset. By default, if the pointer moves beyond EOF, then the record in the buffer is set to false. If the ADODB_COMPAT_FETCH flag is set to true, then the record pointer will remain at the entry prior to the call to the out of bounds pointer.

$ADODB_FETCH_MODE = 1;
