     , 
     integer $fetchmode
      = DB_FETCHMODE_DEFAULT
    
   )
Runs the query provided and puts the first row of data into an array then frees the result set.
$query
     the SQL query or the statement to prepare
$params
     array to be used in execution of the statement. Quantity of array elements must match quantity of placeholders in query.
If supplied, prepare()/ execute() is used.
This method does not allow scalars to be used for this argument.
$fetchmode
     the fetch mode to use. The default is DB_FETCHMODE_DEFAULT, which tells this method to use DB's current fetch mode. DB's current default fetch mode can be changed using setFetchMode(). Potential values include:
DB_FETCHMODE_ORDERED
DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC
DB_FETCHMODE_OBJECT
   array - the first row's data in an array
   or a DB_Error object on failure.
   The array may be ordered or associative depending on
   $fetchmode.
   The column index starts at 0 for ordered arrays.
  
| Error code | Error message | Reason | Solution | 
|---|---|---|---|
| DB_ERROR_INVALID | invalid | SQL statement for preparing is not valid. | See the prepare() documentation, if you want to use a SQL statemt using placeholders. | 
| DB_ERROR_MISMATCH | mismatch | Quantity of parameters didn't match quantity of placeholders in the prepared statement. | 
        Check that the number of placeholders in the
        
         prepare() statement passed to
        $query equals the count of entries
        passed to $params.
        | 
      
| DB_ERROR_NODBSELECTED | no database selected | No database was chosen. | Check the DSN in connect(). | 
| every other error code | Database specific error | Check the database related section of PHP-Manual to detect the reason for this error. In the most cases a misformed SQL statement. Ie. using LIMIT in a SQL-Statement for an Oracle database. | 
This function can not be called statically.
