# move

##### Syntax

    bool move(
         int $cursorPosition
         )

## Description

The function `move()` moves the cursor to the nth record in a recordset. Offsets are zero-based. If the cursor is successfully moved then the function returns true. If the move is unsuccessful, (-ve offset, passed EOF etc) the function returns false. Note that some databases do not support moving to previous rows (scrolling backwards)

## Usage

    /*
     * Connection to DB2 sample database
     */
    $SQL = "SELECT * FROM act"
    $recordset = $db->execute($SQL);

    /*
     * Go to the 10th record
     */
    $recordset->move(9);

    /*
     * Retrieve the record as an object
     */
    $record = $recordset->fetchObj;

    print_r($record);
    /*
     * Prints
    ADOFetchObj Object
    (
        [ACTNO] => 100
        [ACTKWD] => TEACH
        [ACTDESC] => TEACH CLASSES
    )
    */
