Ejemplos

Ejemplo #1 Estilo orientado a objetos

<?php
$mysqli
= new mysqli("localhost", "mi_usuario", "mi_contraseña", "world");

/* comprobar la conexión */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Falló la conexión: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}

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

if (
$resultado = $mysqli->query($consulta)) {

/* Obtener la información del campo para la columna 'SurfaceArea' */
$info_campo = $resultado->fetch_field_direct(1);

printf("Nombre: %s\n", $info_campo->name);
printf("Tabla: %s\n", $info_campo->table);
printf("Longitud máx.: %d\n", $info_campo->max_length);
printf("Banderas: %d\n", $info_campo->flags);
printf("Tipo: %d\n", $info_campo->type);

$resultado->close();
}

/* cerrar la conexión */
$mysqli->close();
?>

Ejemplo #2 Estilo por procedimientos

<?php
$enlace
= mysqli_connect("localhost", "mi_usuario", "mi_contraseña", "world");

/* comprobar la conexión */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Falló la conexión: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}

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

if (
$resultado = mysqli_query($enlace, $consulta)) {

/* Obtener la información del campo para la columna 'SurfaceArea' */
$info_campo = mysqli_fetch_field_direct($resultado, 1);

printf("Nombre: %s\n", $info_campo->name);
printf("Tabla: %s\n", $info_campo->table);
printf("Longitud máx.: %d\n", $info_campo->max_length);
printf("Banderas: %d\n", $info_campo->flags);
printf("Tipo: %d\n", $info_campo->type);

mysqli_free_result($resultado);
}

/* cerrar la conexión */
mysqli_close($enlace);
?>

El resultado de los ejemplos sería:

Nombre:        SurfaceArea
Tabla:         Country
Longitud máx.: 10
Banderas:      32769
Tipo:          4

Here's a bigger list of data types. I got this by creating every type I could and calling fetch_fields():

<?php
$mysql_data_type_hash
= array(
1=>'tinyint',
2=>'smallint',
3=>'int',
4=>'float',
5=>'double',
7=>'timestamp',
8=>'bigint',
9=>'mediumint',
10=>'date',
11=>'time',
12=>'datetime',
13=>'year',
16=>'bit',
//252 is currently mapped to all text and blob types (MySQL 5.0.51a)
253=>'varchar',
254=>'char',
246=>'decimal'
);
?>

This may be obvious, but the constants for the field types are already defined in PHP, and can be found in the documentation at: http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.constants.php

According to
dev.mysql.com/sources/doxygen/mysql-5.1/mysql__com_8h-source.html
the flag bits are:

NOT_NULL_FLAG 1 /* Field can't be NULL */
PRI_KEY_FLAG 2 /* Field is part of a primary key */
UNIQUE_KEY_FLAG 4 /* Field is part of a unique key */
MULTIPLE_KEY_FLAG 8 /* Field is part of a key */
BLOB_FLAG 16 /* Field is a blob */
UNSIGNED_FLAG 32 /* Field is unsigned */
ZEROFILL_FLAG 64 /* Field is zerofill */
BINARY_FLAG 128 /* Field is binary */
ENUM_FLAG 256 /* field is an enum */
AUTO_INCREMENT_FLAG 512 /* field is a autoincrement field */
TIMESTAMP_FLAG 1024 /* Field is a timestamp */

Here are two methods for converting the 'type' and 'flags' attributes to text for debugging purposes. They both use the predefined MYSQLI_ constants to generate the text.

<?php

public static function h_type2txt($type_id)
{
static
$types;

if (!isset(
$types))
{
$types = array();
$constants = get_defined_constants(true);
foreach (
$constants['mysqli'] as $c => $n) if (preg_match('/^MYSQLI_TYPE_(.*)/', $c, $m)) $types[$n] = $m[1];
}

return
array_key_exists($type_id, $types)? $types[$type_id] : NULL;
}

public static function
h_flags2txt($flags_num)
{
static
$flags;

if (!isset(
$flags))
{
$flags = array();
$constants = get_defined_constants(true);
foreach (
$constants['mysqli'] as $c => $n) if (preg_match('/MYSQLI_(.*)_FLAG$/', $c, $m)) if (!array_key_exists($n, $flags)) $flags[$n] = $m[1];
}

$result = array();
foreach (
$flags as $n => $t) if ($flags_num & $n) $result[] = $t;
return
implode(' ', $result);
}

?>

Warning!
This function is not only more memory consuming than expected but the consumption also depends on the size of the result set. So if you realy only want to get your field_names you might want to append " LIMIT 1" or use mysqli->unbuffered_query() to save yourself from a memory bloat.

Beware of the fact that the ->def property NEVER gets filled with the correct default field value, so it's totally USELESS.

This happens NOT for a bug in php (so don't go filling in a bug report), but happens BY DESIGN, since the MySQL C API call doesn't fill in this value, unless you call the mysql_list_fields() function, which Php doesn't.

See here for reference.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/c-api-datatypes.html

Also, be aware that if you're using a query which contains subqueries, the primary key/autoincrement flags do NOT get passed along, even if the field you're looking at is the primary autoincrement key of the master table:

SELECT * from (SELECT id from areas) AS subareas

and you'll find primary key and autoinc flags off on id field, even if id was the primary autoinc key of areas table.

This also is by design, i think, since it's supposed that if we're using a subquery then the primary key/autoinc stuff might have no sense at all, since in the result set we can compose fileds from many different tables.

Hoping this is useful, bye!

You can find all available data types here:

note that
"SELECT <timestamp-field>, ..."
will return the field with type 7 (timestamp) but with content like "2010-07-14 14:35:08". the point being it is a string.

"SELECT <timestamp-field> + 0, ..."
returns a type 5 (double) but while a number, is not seconds since epoch, but a number in MySQL's "YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" format, in this example:
20100714143508

Here are some Numbers of Datatypes. I searched for it but i didn't find a list, where the datatypes of the numbers are listed.

so first I can give this:

3 - Int
10 - Date
246 - Decimal
252 - text
253 - VarChar
254 - Boolean

I wrote a simple class to get info about fields.
Try it!

<?php
class MysqlFieldsInfo implements Iterator
{

private
$result;
private
$position;
private
$row;


function
__construct($result){
$this->result = $result;
$this->position = 0;
$this->rewind(); // W $results wewnętrzny wskaźnik może być przesunięty więc powracamy do początku
}

public function
current(){
return
$this->row;
}

public function
next(){
$this->position++;
$this->row = $this->result->fetch_field();
}

public function
valid(){
return (boolean)
$this->row;
}

public function
key(){
return
$this->position;
}

public function
rewind(){
$this->position = 0;
$this->result->field_seek(0);
$this->next();
}

// This function show data in table
public function export(){

echo
'<table id="db_table_info">';
echo
'<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Orgname</th>
<th>Table</th>
<th>Orgtable</th>
<th>Def</th>
<th>Max_length</th>
<th>Length</th>
<th>Charsetnr</th>
<th>Flags</th>
<th>Type</th>
<th>Decimals</th>
</tr>'
;
while(
$this->valid()){
echo
'<tr>';
printf("\n\t<td>%s</td>\n", $this->current()->name);
printf("\t<td>%s</td>\n", $this->current()->orgname);
printf("\t<td>%s</td>\n", $this->current()->orgtable);
printf("\t<td>%s</td>\n", $this->current()->def);
printf("\t<td>%s</td>\n", $this->current()->max_length);
printf("\t<td>%s</td>\n", $this->current()->length);
printf("\t<td>%s</td>\n", $this->current()->charsetnr);
printf("\t<td>%s</td>\n", $this->current()->flags);
printf("\t<td>%s</td>\n", $this->current()->type);
printf("\t<td>%s</td>\n", $this->current()->decimals);

echo
'</tr>';

$this->next();
}

echo
'</table>';
}
}
?>
