mysqli_result::fetch_field_direct

mysqli_fetch_field_direct

(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

mysqli_result::fetch_field_direct -- mysqli_fetch_field_direct — Récupère les métadonnées d'un champ unique

Description

Style orienté objet

public mysqli_result::fetch_field_direct(int $index): object|false

Style procédural

mysqli_fetch_field_direct(mysqli_result $result, int $index): object|false

Retourne un objet qui contient les métadonnées d'un champ dans le jeu de résultats spécifié.

Liste de paramètres

result: Style procédural uniquement : Un objet mysqli_result retourné par mysqli_query(), mysqli_store_result(), mysqli_use_result(), ou mysqli_stmt_get_result().
index: Le numéro du champ. Cette valeur doit être dans l'intervalle 0 à nombre de champs - 1.

Valeurs de retour

Retourne un objet qui contient les métadonnées d'un champ ou false si aucune métadonnée n'est spécifiée pour le champ index.

**Propriétés de l'objet**
Propriété	Description
name	Le nom de la colonne
orgname	Le nom original de la colonne si un alias a été spécifié
table	Le nom de la table à laquelle ce champ appartient (s'il n'a pas été calculé)
orgtable	Le nom original de la table si un alias a été spécifié
def	Inutilisé. Toujours une chaîne vide
db	Le nom de la base de données
catalog	Inutilisé. Toujours `"def"`
max_length	La longueur maximale du champ pour le jeu de résultats. À partir de PHP 8.1, cette valeur est toujours `0`.
length	La largeur du champ en octets. Pour les colonnes de type chaîne de caractères, la valeur de longueur varie en fonction du jeu de caractères de la connexion. Par exemple, si le jeu de caractères est `latin1`, un jeu de caractères mono-octet, la valeur de longueur pour une requête `SELECT 'abc'` est 3. Si le jeu de caractères est `utf8mb4`, un jeu de caractères multioctets dans lequel les caractères occupent jusqu'à 4 octets, la valeur de longueur est 12.
charsetnr	Le numéro du jeu de caractères pour ce champs
flags	Un entier représentant le bit-flags pour ce champs
type	Le type de données utilisées pour ce champs
decimals	Le nombre de décimales pour les champs numériques et la précision des secondes fractionnaires pour les champs temporels.

Exemples

Exemple #1 Style orienté objet

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

/* Vérification de la connexion */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
    printf("Échec de la connexion : %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}

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

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

    /* Get field information for column 'SurfaceArea' */
    $finfo = $result->fetch_field_direct(1);

    printf("Nom        : %s\n", $finfo->name);
    printf("Table      : %s\n", $finfo->table);
    printf("Taille max : %d\n", $finfo->max_length);
    printf("Flags      : %d\n", $finfo->flags);
    printf("Type       : %d\n", $finfo->type);

    $result->close();
}

/* Fermeture de la connexion */
$mysqli->close();
?>

Exemple #2 Style procédural

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

/* Vérification de la connexion */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
    printf("Échec de la connexion : %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}

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

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

    /* Get field information for column 'SurfaceArea' */
    $finfo = mysqli_fetch_field_direct($result, 1);

    printf("Nom        : %s\n", $finfo->name);
    printf("Table      : %s\n", $finfo->table);
    printf("Taille max : %d\n", $finfo->max_length);
    printf("Flags      : %d\n", $finfo->flags);
    printf("Type       : %d\n", $finfo->type);

    mysqli_free_result($result);
}

/* Fermeture de la connexion */
mysqli_close($link);
?>

Les exemples ci-dessus vont afficher :

Nom        : SurfaceArea
Table      : Country
Taille max : 10
Flags      : 32769
Type       : 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

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   */

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!

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!
