mysqli_fetch_fields

(PHP 5 CVS only)

mysqli_fetch_fields

(no version information, might be only in CVS)

result->fetch_fields -- Returns an array of objects representing the fields in a result set

Description

Procedural Style:

mixed mysqli_fetch_fields ( object result)

Object oriented style (method):

class result {

mixed fetch_fields ( int fieldnr)

}

This function serves an identical purpose to the mysqli_fetch_field() function with the single difference that, instead of returning one object at a time for each field, the columns are returned as an array of objects. For a description of the attributes of each object and their meaning, see the mysqli_fetch_field() function.

Return values

Returns an array of objects which contains field definition informations or FALSE if no field information is available.

表格 1. Object attributes

defThe default value for this field, represented as a string
max_lengthThe maximum width of the field for the result set.
flagsAn integer representing the bit-flags for the field.
typeThe data type used for this field

Example

例子 1. Object oriented style

<?php
$mysqli
= new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");

/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
    
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}

$query = "SELECT Name, SurfaceArea from Country ORDER BY Code LIMIT 5";

if (
$result = $mysqli->query($query)) {

    
/* Get field information for all columns */
    
$finfo = $result->fetch_fields();

    for (
$i=0; $i < count($finfo); $i++) {
        
printf("Name:     %s\n", $finfo[$i]->name);
        
printf("Table:    %s\n", $finfo[$i]->table);
        
printf("max. Len: %d\n", $finfo[$i]->max_length);
        
printf("Flags:    %d\n", $finfo[$i]->flags);
        
printf("Type:     %d\n\n", $finfo[$i]->type);
    }    
    
$result->close();
}

/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>

例子 2. Procedural style

<?php
$link
= mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");

/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
    
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}

$query = "SELECT Name, SurfaceArea from Country ORDER BY Code LIMIT 5";

if (
$result = mysqli_query($link, $query)) {

    
/* Get field information for all columns */
    
$finfo = mysqli_fetch_fields($result);

    for (
$i=0; $i < count($finfo); $i++) {
        
printf("Name:     %s\n", $finfo[$i]->name);
        
printf("Table:    %s\n", $finfo[$i]->table);
        
printf("max. Len: %d\n", $finfo[$i]->max_length);
        
printf("Flags:    %d\n", $finfo[$i]->flags);
        
printf("Type:     %d\n\n", $finfo[$i]->type);
    }    
    
mysqli_free_result($result);
}

/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>

The above examples would produce the following output:

Name:     Name
Table:    Country
max. Len: 11
Flags:    1
Type:     254

Name:     SurfaceArea
Table:    Country
max. Len: 10
Flags:    32769
Type:     4
