  <para>
   <function>pg_field_prtlen</function> returns the actual printed
   length (number of characters) of a specific value in a PostgreSQL
   <parameter>result</parameter>.  Row numbering starts at 0.  This
   function will return -1 on an error.
  </para>
  <para>
   <parameter>field_name_or_number</parameter> can be passed either as an
   <type>integer</type> or as a <type>string</type>. If it is passed as an
   <type>integer</type>, PHP recognises it as the field number, otherwise as
   field name.
