getFields


Function: getFields()

Gets the field names of a record.

Since 9.0.1

Syntax

getFields(set)

ArgumentTypeDescription
setRecordset

The recordset to get the fields list from.

Get fields will return each field name defined for the record as an array, except for special internal field names.

Example

The getFields function will return a list of field names. These can be extracted using normal array functions and assigned to a variable.

$fields = getFields(in) // ["foo", "bah", "field3"]
$field  = $fields[1]       // $field = "foo"
$value  = in.$field         // equivalent to in.foo

The dot notation supports dynamic access to fields when variables are used within the expression, in this case, $field = "foo" so in.foo will be assigned to $value.
