mysqli_result::fetch_object
It's worth noting that the MySQLi functions (and, I presume, the MySQL functions) fetch a string regardless of the MySQL data type. E.g. if you fetch a row with an integer column, the corresponding value for that column and row will still be stored as a string in the array returned by mysql_fetch_row.
mysqli_result::fetch_row
mysqli_fetch_row
(PHP 5)
mysqli_result::fetch_row -- mysqli_fetch_row — Get a result row as an enumerated array
Description
Oriented object style
Procedural style
Fetches one row of data from the result set and returns it as an enumerated array, where each column is stored in an array offset starting from 0 (zero). Each subsequent call to this function will return the next row within the result set, or NULL if there are no more rows.
Parameters
- result
-
Procedural style only: A result set identifier returned by mysqli_query(), mysqli_store_result() or mysqli_use_result().
Return Values
mysqli_fetch_row() returns an array of strings that corresponds to the fetched row or NULL if there are no more rows in result set.
Note: This function sets NULL fields to the PHP NULL value.
Examples
Oriented object 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();
}
$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER by ID DESC LIMIT 50,5";
if ($result = $mysqli->query($query)) {
/* fetch object array */
while ($row = $result->fetch_row()) {
printf ("%s (%s)\n", $row[0], $row[1]);
}
/* free result set */
$result->close();
}
/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>
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();
}
$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER by ID DESC LIMIT 50,5";
if ($result = mysqli_query($link, $query)) {
/* fetch associative array */
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_row($result)) {
printf ("%s (%s)\n", $row[0], $row[1]);
}
/* free result set */
mysqli_free_result($result);
}
/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>
The above examples will output:
Pueblo (USA) Arvada (USA) Cape Coral (USA) Green Bay (USA) Santa Clara (USA)

4. Be careful when porting from ext/mysql to ext/mysqli. The following
functions return NULL when no more data is available in the result set
(ext/mysql's functions return FALSE).
- mysqli_fetch_row()
- mysqli_fetch_array()
- mysqli_fetch_assoc()

Remember that fetch() and fetch_row() are two different things, and differ in the way to use them.
- fetch() is used on a statement (like an executed prepared statement) and needs to be used in association with bind_result().
- fetch_row() is used on a result (like the result of query()).
As a consequence, if you want to use to use fetch_row() with an executed prepared statement, first you'll have to get the result out of this statement with mysqli_store_result() or mysqli_use_result().
