mysqli::multi_query

mysqli_multi_query

(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

mysqli::multi_query -- mysqli_multi_query — 在数据库上执行一个或多个查询

说明

面向对象风格

public mysqli::multi_query(string $query): bool

过程化风格

mysqli_multi_query(mysqli $mysql, string $query): bool

执行一个或多个由分号分隔的查询。

警告

Security warning: SQL injection

If the query contains any variable input then parameterized prepared statements should be used instead. Alternatively, the data must be properly formatted and all strings must be escaped using the mysqli_real_escape_string() function.

对数据库的单个调用中，查询是异步发送，但数据库会按顺序处理。 mysqli_multi_query() 在将控制返回给 PHP 之前等待第一个查询完成。MySQL 服务器将会按照顺序处理下一个查询。一旦下一个结果就绪，MySQL 将等待 PHP 的下一次 mysqli_next_result() 执行。

推荐使用 do-while 处理多个查询。在所有查询完成并将结果返回给 PHP 之前，连接一直处于繁忙状态。在处理完成所有查询之前，不能在同一连接上发出其它语句。要继续处理顺序中的下一个查询，请使用 mysqli_next_result()。如果下一个结果还没准备好，mysqli 就会等待 MySQL 服务器的响应。要检查是否有更多结果，使用 mysqli_more_results()。

对于产生查询结果集的查询，比如 SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE 或 EXPLAIN，mysqli_use_result() 或 mysqli_store_result() 可用于检索结果集。对于不产生结果集的查询（比如受影响的行数），可以使用相同函数查询。

小技巧

为存储过程执行 CALL 语句可以产生多个结果集。如果存储过程包含 SELECT 语句，结果集将按照执行过程中的顺序返回。通常，调用者不会知道过程将返回多少个结果集，必须准备好检索多个结果。该过程的最终结果是不包含结果集的 status 结果。status 表示过程是成功还是发生错误。

参数

mysql: 仅以过程化样式：由 mysqli_connect() 或 mysqli_init() 返回的 mysqli 对象。
query: 包含要执行查询的字符串。多个查询必须用分号分隔。

返回值

如果第一个 SQL 语句就失败了，返回 false。要从其它语句中检索后续错误，必须先调用 mysqli_next_result()。

错误／异常

If mysqli error reporting is enabled (MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR) and the requested operation fails, a warning is generated. If, in addition, the mode is set to MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT, a mysqli_sql_exception is thrown instead.

示例

示例 #1 mysqli::multi_query() 示例

面向对象风格

<?php

mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");

$query = "SELECT CURRENT_USER();";
$query .= "SELECT Name FROM City ORDER BY ID LIMIT 20, 5";

/* 批量执行查询 */
$mysqli->multi_query($query);
do {
    /* store the result set in PHP */
    if ($result = $mysqli->store_result()) {
        while ($row = $result->fetch_row()) {
            printf("%s\n", $row[0]);
        }
    }
    /* print divider */
    if ($mysqli->more_results()) {
        printf("-----------------\n");
    }
} while ($mysqli->next_result());

过程化风格

<?php

mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");

$query = "SELECT CURRENT_USER();";
$query .= "SELECT Name FROM City ORDER BY ID LIMIT 20, 5";

/* 批量执行查询 */
mysqli_multi_query($link, $query);
do {
    /* store the result set in PHP */
    if ($result = mysqli_store_result($link)) {
        while ($row = mysqli_fetch_row($result)) {
            printf("%s\n", $row[0]);

    }
    /* print divider */
    if (mysqli_more_results($link)) {
        printf("-----------------\n");
    }
} while (mysqli_next_result($link));

以上示例的输出类似于：

WATCH OUT: if you mix $mysqli->multi_query and $mysqli->query, the latter(s) won't be executed!

<?php
// BAD CODE:
$mysqli->multi_query(" Many SQL queries ; "); // OK
$mysqli->query(" SQL statement #1 ; ") // not executed!
$mysqli->query(" SQL statement #2 ; ") // not executed!
$mysqli->query(" SQL statement #3 ; ") // not executed!
$mysqli->query(" SQL statement #4 ; ") // not executed!
?>

The only way to do this correctly is:

<?php
// WORKING CODE:
$mysqli->multi_query(" Many SQL queries ; "); // OK
while ($mysqli->next_result()) {;} // flush multi_queries
$mysqli->query(" SQL statement #1 ; ") // now executed!
$mysqli->query(" SQL statement #2 ; ") // now executed!
$mysqli->query(" SQL statement #3 ; ") // now executed!
$mysqli->query(" SQL statement #4 ; ") // now executed!
?>

To be able to execute a $mysqli->query() after a $mysqli->multi_query() for MySQL > 5.3, I updated the code of jcn50 by this one :

<?php
    // WORKING CODE:
    $mysqli->multi_query(" Many SQL queries ; "); // OK

    while ($mysqli->next_result()) // flush multi_queries
    {
        if (!$mysqli->more_results()) break;
    }

    $mysqli->query(" SQL statement #1 ; ") // now executed!
    $mysqli->query(" SQL statement #2 ; ") // now executed!
    $mysqli->query(" SQL statement #3 ; ") // now executed!
    $mysqli->query(" SQL statement #4 ; ") // now executed!
?>

Here are more details about error checking and return values from multi_query().  Testing shows that there are some mysqli properties to check for each result:



affected_rows

errno

error

insert_id

warning_count



If error or errno are not empty then the remaining queries did not return anything, even though error and errno will appear to be empty if processing further results is continued.



Also note that get_warnings() will not work with multi_query().  It can only be used after looping through all results, and it will only get the warnings for the last one of the queries and not for any others.  If you need to see or log query warning strings then you must not use multi_query(), because you can only see the warning_count value.

Note that you need to use this function to call Stored Procedures!

If you experience "lost connection to MySQL server" errors with your Stored Procedure calls then you did not fetch the 'OK' (or 'ERR') message, which is a second result-set from a Stored Procedure call. You have to fetch that result to have no problems with subsequent queries.

Bad example, will FAIL now and then on subsequent calls:
<?php
$sQuery='CALL exampleSP('param')';
if(!mysqli_multi_query($this->sqlLink,$sQuery))
  $this->queryError();
$this->sqlResult=mysqli_store_result($this->sqlLink);
?>

Working example:
<?php
$sQuery='CALL exampleSP('param')';
if(!mysqli_multi_query($this->sqlLink,$sQuery))
  $this->queryError();
$this->sqlResult=mysqli_store_result($this->sqlLink);

if(mysqli_more_results($this->sqlLink))
  while(mysqli_next_result($this->sqlLink));
?>

Of course you can do more with the multiple results then just throwing them away, but for most this will suffice. You could for example make an "sp" function which will kill the 2nd 'ok' result.

This nasty 'OK'-message made me spend hours trying to figure out why MySQL server was logging warnings with 'bad packets from client' and PHP mysql_error() with 'Connection lost'. It's a shame the mysqli library does catch this by just doing it for you.

I was developing my own CMS and I was having problem with attaching the database' sql file. I thought mysqli_multi_query got bugs where it crashes my MySQL server. I tried to report the bug but it showed that it has duplicate bug reports of other developers. To my surprise, mysqli_multi_query needs to bother with result even if there's none.

I finally got it working when I copied the sample and removed somethings. Here is what it looked liked

<?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  = "CREATE TABLE....;...;... blah blah blah;...";

/* execute multi query */
if (mysqli_multi_query($link, $query)) {
   do {
       /* store first result set */
       if ($result = mysqli_store_result($link)) {
           //do nothing since there's nothing to handle
           mysqli_free_result($result);
       }
       /* print divider */
       if (mysqli_more_results($link)) {
           //I just kept this since it seems useful
           //try removing and see for yourself
       }
   } while (mysqli_next_result($link));
}

/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>

bottom-line: I think mysql_multi_query should only be used for attaching a database. it's hard to handle results from 'SELECT' statements inside a single while loop.

Following code can be used to resolve 
mysqli::next_result(): There is no next result set. Please, call mysqli_more_results()/mysqli::more_results() to check whether to call this function/method 

        $query = "SELECT SOME_COLUMN FROM SOME_TABLE_NAME;";
        $query .= "SELECT SOME_OTHER_COLUMN FROM SOME_TABLE_NAME";
        /* execute multi query */
        if (mysqli_multi_query($this->conn, $query)) {
            $i = true;
            do {
                /* store first result set */
                if ($result = mysqli_store_result($this->conn)) {
                    while ($row = mysqli_fetch_row($result)) {
                        printf("%s\n", $row[0]);

You can use prepared statements on stored procedures.

You just need to flush all the subsequent result sets before closing the statement... so:

$mysqli_stmt = $mysqli->prepare(....);

... bind, execute, bind, fetch ...

while($mysqli->more_results())
{
    $mysqli->next_result();
    $discard = $mysqli->store_result();
}

$mysqli_stmt->close();

Hope that helps :o)

            $result->free();
        }
    } while( $mysqli->more_results() && $mysqli->next_result() );

I appreciate the advice from crmccar at gmail dot com regarding the proper way to check for errors, but I would get an error with his/her code. I fixed it by changing the code a little:

<?php
$sql = file_get_contents( 'sql/test_' . $id . '_data.sql');

$query_array = explode(';', $sql);

// Run the SQL
$i = 0;
if( $this->mysqli->multi_query( $sql ) )
{
    do {
        $this->mysqli->next_result();

        $i++;
    }
    while( $this->mysqli->more_results() ); 
}

if( $this->mysqli->errno )
{
    die(
        '<h1>ERROR</h1>
        Query #' . ( $i + 1 ) . ' of <b>test_' . $id . '_data.sql</b>:<br /><br />
        <pre>' . $query_array[ $i ] . '</pre><br /><br /> 
        <span style="color:red;">' . $this->mysqli->error . '</span>'
    );
}

I'd like to reinforce the correct way of catching errors from the queries executed by multi_query(), since the manual's examples don't show it and it's easy to lose UPDATEs, INSERTs, etc. without knowing it.



$mysqli->next_result() will return false if it runs out of statements OR if the next statement has an error. Therefore, it's important to check for errors when the loop ends. Also, I believe it's useful to know when and where the loop broke, so consider the following code:



<?php

$statements = array("INSERT INTO tablename VALUES ('1', 'one')", "INSERT INTO tablename VALUES ('2', 'two')");

if ($mysqli->multi_query(implode(';', $statements))) {

    $i = 0;

    do {

        $i++;

    } while ($mysqli->next_result());

}

if ($mysqli->errno) {

    echo "Batch execution prematurely ended on statement $i.\n";

    var_dump($statements[$i], $mysqli->error);

}

?>



The IF statement on the multi_query() call checks the first result, because next_result() starts at the second.

If you want to create a table with triggers, procedures or functions in one multiline query you may stuck with a error -
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; xxx corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DELIMITER' at line 1

The solution is very simple - don't use DELIMITER keyword at all! So, instead of :

DELIMITER |
CREATE TRIGGER $dbName.$iname BEFORE INSERT ON $table FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
    <body>
EOT|
DELIMITER ;

just use :

CREATE TRIGGER $dbName.$iname BEFORE INSERT ON $table FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
    <body>
EOT;

If your second or late query returns no result or even if your query is not a valid SQL query, more_results(); returns true in any case.

Be sure to not send a set of queries that are larger than max_allowed_packet size on your MySQL server. If you do, you'll get an error like: 
Mysql Error (1153): Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes

To see your MySQL size limitation, run the following query: show variables like 'max_allowed_packet';

or see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/packet-too-large.html

Getting "Error: Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now" after running a multi-query? Make sure you've cleared out the queue of results.

Here's what I've used to discard all subsequent results from a multi-query:

<?php
while($dbLink->more_results() && $dbLink->next_result()) {
    $extraResult = $dbLink->use_result();
    if($extraResult instanceof mysqli_result){
        $extraResult->free();

if you don't iterate through all results you get "server has gone away" error message ...

to resolve this, in php 5.2 it is enough to use

<?php
  // ok for php 5.2
  while ($mysqli->next_result());
?>

to drop unwanted results, but in php 5.3 using only this throws

mysqli::next_result(): There is no next result set. Please, call mysqli_more_results()/mysqli::more_results() to check whether to call this function/method

so it should be replaced with

<?php
  // ok for php 5.3
  while ($mysqli->more_results() && $mysqli->next_result());
?>

I also tried but failed:

<?php

  // can create infinite look in some cases
  while ($mysqli->more_results())
    $mysqli->next_result();

  // also throws error in some cases
  if ($mysqli->more_results())
    while ($mysqli->next_result());

It's very important that after executing mysqli_multi_query you have first process the resultsets before sending any another statement to the server, otherwise your
socket is still blocked.

Please note that even if your multi statement doesn't contain SELECT queries, the server will send result packages containing errorcodes (or OK packet) for single statements.

Multi-queries open the potential for a SQL injection. 

The often cited "fallback" loop:

<?php
while ( $db->more_results() and $db->next_result() ) {
  $rs = $db->use_result();
  if( $rs instanceof \mysqli_result ) {
      $rs->free();
}
?>

certainly will avoid the dreaded error 2014 "Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now" error. However, that technique will completely disregard the fact that any excess result sets are a likely indication of an infiltrated system.

Instead, it may be wise to tightly manage the correct number of expected, individual result sets and throw an exception of more are received.

However, it's important to understand that any closing comment (which might have been appended as one defense against command appending) will result in an EXTRA, EMPTY result set.

Example:

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * FROM `table` LIMIT 10; SELECT FOUND_ROWS(); --

will produce THREE result sets:

#1 - the ten data rows,
#2 - the overall row count,
#3 - an empty result set, where: FALSE === $db->use_result(), even though it had been TRUE === ($db->more_results() and $db->next_result() ) .

If you're importing a sql-file with triggers, functions, stored procedures and other stuff, you'll might be using DELIMITER in MySQL.
Notice: This function assumes that all delimiters are on it's own line, and that "DELIMITER" are in all caps.

<?php
function mysqli_multi_query_file($mysqli, $filename) {
    $sql = file_get_contents($filename);
    // remove comments
    $sql = preg_replace('#/\*.*?\*/#s', '', $sql);
    $sql = preg_replace('/^-- .*[\r\n]*/m', '', $sql);
    if (preg_match_all('/^DELIMITER\s+(\S+)$/m', $sql, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER | PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE)) {
        $prev = null;
        $index = 0;
        foreach ($matches as $match) {
            $sqlPart = substr($sql, $index, $match[0][1] - $index);
            // move cursor after the delimiter
            $index = $match[0][1] + strlen($match[0][0]);
            if ($prev && $prev[1][0] != ';') {
