mysqli_result::fetch_fields -- mysqli_fetch_fields — Returns an array of objects representing the fields in a result set
Object oriented style (method):
Procedural Style:
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.
Procedural style only: A result set identifier returned by mysqli_query(), mysqli_store_result() or mysqli_use_result().
Returns an array of objects which contains field definition information or FALSE if no field information is available.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| name | The name of the column |
| orgname | Original column name if an alias was specified |
| table | The name of the table this field belongs to (if not calculated) |
| orgtable | Original table name if an alias was specified |
| def | The default value for this field, represented as a string |
| max_length | The maximum width of the field for the result set. |
| length | The width of the field, as specified in the table definition. |
| charsetnr | The character set number for the field. |
| flags | An integer representing the bit-flags for the field. |
| type | The data type used for this field |
| decimals | The number of decimals used (for integer fields) |
Example #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 = $result->fetch_fields();
foreach ($finfo as $val) {
printf("Name: %s\n", $val->name);
printf("Table: %s\n", $val->table);
printf("max. Len: %d\n", $val->max_length);
printf("Flags: %d\n", $val->flags);
/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>
Example #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);
foreach ($finfo as $val) {
printf("Name: %s\n", $val->name);
printf("Table: %s\n", $val->table);
printf("max. Len: %d\n", $val->max_length);
printf("Flags: %d\n", $val->flags);
/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>
The above example will output:
Name: Name Table: Country max. Len: 11 Flags: 1 Type: 254 Name: SurfaceArea Table: Country max. Len: 10 Flags: 32769 Type: 4
