It isnt specified in the above description for this function, but yes this function will not only return the first column, but it will also return the first value (ie from the first row in the result set) of that column. Also the result set pointer is involved here in that if you use sqlite_fetch_single in a loop, it will return each value in the first column sequentially and advance the result set pointer each time.
i.e. the first loop iteration it returns the first value in the first column. the second loop iteration it returns the second value in the first column. the third loop iteration the third value and so on.
$handle = sqlite_open("database_file_name") or die("Could not open database");
//generate query string
$query = "select distinct field1 from database_name";
//execute query
$result = sqlite_query($handle,$query)
//if a row exists
if(sqlite_num_rows($result)>0){
echo "<table cellpadding=\"10\" border=\"1\">";
//check for more rows
while(sqlite_has_more($result)){
//get first field from each row
//print values
$row=sqlite_fetch_single($result);
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".$row."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
}
//close database file
sqlite_close($handle);
sqlite_fetch_single
(PHP 5, PECL sqlite:1.0.1-1.0.3)
sqlite_fetch_single — Retorna o resultado da primeira coluna como string.
Descrição
string sqlite_fetch_single
( resource $result
[, int $result_type
[, bool $decode_binary
]] )
sqlite_fetch_single() é identica a sqlite_fetch_array() só que retorna o valor da primeira coluna no conjunto de resultados.
Este é o melhor meio de recuperar dados quando você esta interessado em valores de apenas uma coluna.
Exemplo #1 Exemplo sqlite_fetch_single()
<?php
if ($dbhandle = sqlite_open('mysqlitedb', 0666, $sqliteerror)) {
$sql = "SELECT id FROM sometable WHERE id = 42";
$res = sqlite_query($dbhandle, $sql);
if (sqlite_num_rows($res) > 0) {
echo sqlite_fetch_single($res); // 42
}
sqlite_close($dbhandle);
}
?>

Be careful with the use of sqlite_fetch_single() in a while-loop:
<?php
$result = sqlite_query($db_handle, 'SELECT foo FROM bar;');
while ($row = sqlite_fetch_single($result)) {
/*...do s.th. with $row...*/
}
?>
This may not work as expected because the loop will stop if any of the foos has a false value (e.g. zero).
Use sqlite_has_more() instead:
<?php
$result = sqlite_query($db_handle, 'SELECT foo FROM bar;');
while (sqlite_has_more($result)) {
$row = sqlite_fetch_single($result);
/*...do s.th. with $row...*/
}
?>
