note 11208 rejected and deleted from mysql_fetch_object by zak

fetch_result is really nasty because it only returns one field at a time, and it's inefficient too. but all the other fetch routines seem to only pull in the NEXT row of the result set, and fetch_result is the only one which will pull in anything from the $nth row of a result set. I'd really like a routine which would just get me the whole random row out of all the ones that matched my query. Help?
