Ejemplos

Ejemplo #1 Estilo orientado a objetos

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

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

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

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

/* Obtener la información del campo de cada columna */
while ($finfo = $result->fetch_field()) {

printf("Nombre: %s\n", $finfo->name);
printf("Tabla: %s\n", $finfo->table);
printf("Largo max: %d\n", $finfo->max_length);
printf("Banderas: %d\n", $finfo->flags);
printf("Tipo: %d\n\n", $finfo->type);
}
$result->close();
}

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

Ejemplo #2 Estilo por procedimientos

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

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

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

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

/* Obtener la información del campo de cada columna */
while ($finfo = mysqli_fetch_field($result)) {

printf("Nombre: %s\n", $finfo->name);
printf("Tabla: %s\n", $finfo->table);
printf("Largo max: %d\n", $finfo->max_length);
printf("Banderas: %d\n", $finfo->flags);
printf("Tipo: %d\n\n", $finfo->type);
}
mysqli_free_result($result);
}

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

El resultado de los ejemplos sería:

Nombre:     Name
Tabla:      Country
Largo max:  11
Banderas:   1
Tipo:       254

Nombre:     SurfaceArea
Tabla:      Country
Largo max:  10
Banderas:   32769
Tipo:       4

The flags used by MySql are:                                                                                                                                                   NOT_NULL_FLAG = 1                                                                                     PRI_KEY_FLAG = 2                                                                                      UNIQUE_KEY_FLAG = 4                                                                                   BLOB_FLAG = 16                                                                                        UNSIGNED_FLAG = 32                                                                                    ZEROFILL_FLAG = 64                                                                                    BINARY_FLAG = 128                                                                                     ENUM_FLAG = 256                                                                                       AUTO_INCREMENT_FLAG = 512                                                                             TIMESTAMP_FLAG = 1024                                                                                 SET_FLAG = 2048                                                                                       NUM_FLAG = 32768                                                                                      PART_KEY_FLAG = 16384                                                                                 GROUP_FLAG = 32768                                                                                    UNIQUE_FLAG = 65536                                                                            To test if a flag is set you can use & like so:<?php$meta = $mysqli_result_object->fetch_field();if ($meta->flags & 4) {   echo 'Unique key flag is set'; } ?>

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.<?phppublic 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);}?>

The constants in a few other comments above appear to be inaccurate. Here are some more official references that seem quite hard to search.The "type" attribute: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/com-query-response.html#column-typeThe "flags" attribute: https://github.com/google/mysql/blob/master/include/mysql_com.h#L133In addition, all attributes are explained on the COM_QUERY_RESPONSE page too: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/com-query-response.html#column-definition

The predefined constant values returned by the function get_predefined_constants() for:MYSQLI_TYPE_CHAR = 1MYSQLI _TYPE_TINYINT = 1If the code is used to categorized the type of field use this values will of course create confusion. For example:if($fieldtype === "CHAR"){    $field_html_attribute = "text";    $field_html_length = 1;} elseif($fieldtype === "TINYINT") {    $field_html_attribute = "number";    $field_html_length = 1;}If an array is created to set the key as the numeric value and the value of that key as the the text title, TINYINT will be replaced by CHAR value. But is this process is reversed, then the code will select TINYINT if the foreach statement set to break when the numeric value of the flag equals the value of the current key as the first intance.Base in the note added by Johnathan at http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.field-count.php the values should be:CHAR = 254TINYINT = 1But predefined function attributes the value 254 to MYSQLI_TYPE_STRING.Just for FYI

Beware the values of the predefined constants.  They do not always correlate with the actual field types.  For example:MYSQLI_TYPE_BLOB: 252MYSQLI_TYPE_TINY_BLOB: 249MYSQLI_TYPE_MEDIUM_BLOB: 250MYSQLI_TYPE_LONG_BLOB: 251MySQLi will indeed return a value of 252 for a tinytext field, but as you can see, this does not correspond to the value of MYSQLI_TYPE_TINY_BLOB.

It is not possible to get the values for an enum or set field through fetch_fields(). As far as I can tell this is because it hasn't been implemented in the mysqlnd api but whatever the reason it is not possible and you must issue a query like SHOW COLUMNS directly and interrogate the result to determine them.Incidentally you need to check the enum_flag rather than look for the enum_type to determine whether a field is enum or not. The type returned is usually some kind of string.

The constants for the TYPE number returned by fetch_field are enumerated here (MYSQLI_TYPE_*):http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.constants.php
