(PHP 4, PHP 5)
mysql_field_flags — Obtém as opções associadas ao campo especificado em um resultado
Esta extensão tornou-se defasada a partir do PHP 5.5.0 e foi removida no PHP 7.0.0. Em vez disso, as extensões MySQLi ou PDO_MySQL devem ser usadas. Veja também o guia MySQL: escolhendo uma API. Alternativas a esta função incluem:
mysql_field_flags() retorna as opções do campo especificado. As opções são mostradas como uma única palavra por opção separada por um único espaço, de forma a permitir a divisão do valor retornado com o uso da função explode().
resultO resource do resultado que está sendo avaliado. Este resultado vem de uma chamada a mysql_query().
field_offsetO deslocamento numérico do campo.
field_offset começa em 0. Se
field_offset não existir, um erro de nível
E_WARNING também será emitido.
Retorna uma string com as opções associadas ao resultado ou false em caso de falha.
As seguintes opções são reportadas, se a versão do MySQL
for atual o suficiente para suportá-las: "not_null",
"primary_key", "unique_key",
"multiple_key", "blob",
"unsigned", "zerofill",
"binary", "enum",
"auto_increment" e "timestamp".
Exemplo #1 Um exemplo de mysql_field_flags()
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT id,email FROM people WHERE id = '42'");
if (!$result) {
echo 'Não foi possível executar a consulta: ' . mysql_error();
exit;
}
$flags = mysql_field_flags($result, 0);
echo $flags;
print_r(explode(' ', $flags));
?>O exemplo acima produzirá algo semelhante a:
not_null primary_key auto_increment
Array
(
[0] => not_null
[1] => primary_key
[2] => auto_increment
)
Nota:
Para compatibilidade com versões anteriores, o seguinte apelido defasado pode ser usado: mysql_fieldflags()
returns primary keys of a table using 'show keys'
although it is possible to use desc, show keys offers possible enhancements such a getting sequence in index along with it
function getPrimaryKeyOf($table, $link) {
$pk = Array();
$sql = 'SHOW KEYS FROM `'.$table.'`';
$res = mysql_query($table, $link) or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) {
if ($row['Key_name']=='PRIMARY')
array_push($pk, $row['Column_name']);
}
return $pk;
}Using the "DESC TableName" command may also do the trick and is a bit shorter.To really backup the database values, I made a little changement :
My code really looks like bomas 's code, but there is an important diffence :
<?php
$nbc = mysql_num_fields($req_table);
while ($ligne = mysql_fetch_array($req_table))
{
$insertions = "INSERT INTO $table VALUES(";
for ($i=0; $i<$nbc; $i++)
{
if ( $i > 0 ) $insertions .= ", ";
if ( !isset($ligne[$i]))
$insertions .= "NULL";
else
$insertions .= "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($ligne[$i]). "'";
}
$insertions .= ");";
$dumpsql[] = $insertions;
}
?>
$dumpslq is the variable where I put the insertion orders before writting them in a text file.
Before, I test that the values if not NULL into the field because it is the only way to make the difference, for example for string text fields, between NULL values and empty strings.
If you don't make this test, you should find empty string instead of NULL values when you do the backup.ok, sorry for the code bloat :) but this is how I
get the full power of mysql's DESCRIBE table statement, in
an associative array, including defaults, enum values, float radix et all.
it assumes mysql returns the type as
"type[(arg[,arg..])] [ add]"
like
"float(20,6) unsigned"
"enum('yes','no')"
etc
<?
function getFields($tablename) {
$fields = array();
$fullmatch = "/^([^(]+)(\([^)]+\))?(\s(.+))?$/";
$charlistmatch = "/,?'([^']*)'/";
$numlistmatch = "/,?(\d+)/";
$fieldsquery .= "DESCRIBE $tablename";
$result_fieldsquery = mysql_query($fieldsquery) or die(mysql_error());
while ($row_fieldsquery = mysql_fetch_assoc($result_fieldsquery)) {
$name = $row_fieldsquery['Field'];
$fields[$name] = array();
$fields[$name]["type"] = "";
$fields[$name]["args"] = array();
$fields[$name]["add"] = "";
$fields[$name]["null"] = $row_fieldsquery['Null'];
$fields[$name]["key"] = $row_fieldsquery['Key'];
$fields[$name]["default"] = $row_fieldsquery['Default'];
$fields[$name]["extra"] = $row_fieldsquery['Extra'];
$fulltype = $row_fieldsquery['Type'];
$typeregs = array();
if (preg_match($fullmatch, $fulltype, $typeregs)) {
$fields[$name]["type"] = $typeregs[1];
if ($typeregs[4]) $fields[$name]["add"] = $typeregs[4];
$fullargs = $typeregs[2];
$argsreg = array();
if (preg_match_all($charlistmatch, $fullargs, $argsreg)) {
$fields[$name]["args"] = $argsreg[1];
} else {
$argsreg = array();
if (preg_match_all($numlistmatch, $fullargs, $argsreg)) {
$fields[$name]["args"] = $argsreg[1];
} else die("cant parse type args: $fullargs");
}
} else die("cant parse type: $fulltype");
}
return $fields;
}
?>Another examples :
####################################
function field_keys($host, $user, $password, $database, $field ) {
$db_link = mysql_connect($host, $user, $password) or die ("error connect");
mysql_select_db($database,$db_link);
$query="DESC $field";
$results=mysql_query($query);
$i=0;
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($results)) {
if ($row[Key]=="PRI") {
$array_keys[$i]=$row[Field];
}
$i++;
}
return $array_keys;
}
####################################
//Example of Main...
$tmp = field_keys("localhost", "myuser", "mypassword", "mydb", "field_name" );
// ...loop through array...
foreach ( $tmp as $array_tmp){
print "<br>";
print $array_tmp;
print "<br>";
}I didn't find anything to get the valid values for
ENUM or SET column types, so I came up with the
following
function mysql_enum_values($table, $field)
{
$sql = "SHOW COLUMNS FROM $table LIKE '$field'";
$sql_res = mysql_query($sql)
or die("Could not query:\n$sql");
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql_res);
mysql_free_result($sql_res);
return(explode("','",
preg_replace("/.*\('(.*)'\)/", "\\1",
$row["Type"])));
}well, to make a complete backup of your database, i suggest this code:
//open database here
$tab_status = mysql_query("SHOW TABLE STATUS");
while($all = mysql_fetch_assoc($tab_status)):
$tbl_stat[$all[Name]] = $all[Auto_increment];
endwhile;
unset($backup);
$tables = mysql_list_tables('cofadmin');
while($tabs = mysql_fetch_row($tables)):
$backup .= "--\n--Tabel structuur voor `$tabs[0]`\n--\n\nDROP IF EXISTS TABLE `$tabs[0]`\nCREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `$tabs[0]` ( ";
$res = mysql_query("SHOW CREATE TABLE $tabs[0]");
while($all = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)):
$str = str_replace("CREATE TABLE `$tabs[0]` (", "", $all['Create Table']);
$str = str_replace(",", ", ", $str);
$str2 = str_replace("`) ) TYPE=MyISAM ", "`)\n ) TYPE=MyISAM ", $str);
$backup .= $str2." AUTO_INCREMENT=".$tbl_stat[$tabs[0]].";\n\n";
endwhile;
$backup .= "--\n--Gegevens worden uitgevoerd voor tabel `$tabs[0]`\n--\n\n";
$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $tabs[0]");
while($dt = mysql_fetch_row($data)):
$backup .= "INSERT INTO `$tabs[0]` VALUES('$dt[0]'";
for($i=1; $i<sizeof($dt); $i++):
$backup .= ", '$dt[$i]'";
endfor;
$backup .= ");\n";
endwhile;
$backup .= "\n-- --------------------------------------------------------\n\n";
endwhile;
echo $backup;
this displayes your data the same way as phpmyadmin does.
hope it helps some of you guys
GreetzSometimes, when writing a generic function or class, you want your script to be able to determine what the primary key of a table is.
/* usual MySQL stuff */
$query="DESC UsersTable";
$results=mysql_query($query);
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($results))
{
if ($row[Type]="PRI")
{
print "I found the primary key! <br>";
$UserKey=$row[Field];
print $row[Field];
/* drop out , as we've found the key */
exit;
}
}
..... later on we might have something like
< some sort of loop through records >
print "<a href='View_User_record.php?userkey=$UserKey'> Users Name </a>";
<end loop>
What's also interesting is the useful data you can get from
a DESC query.
The following prints out the array values grabbed by mysql_fetch_array on a DESC query - VERY useful stuff!!!
/* usual MySQL stuff */
$query="DESC UsersTable";
$results=mysql_query($query);
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($results))
{
print "<pre>";
print_r ($row);
print "</pre>";
}This function is essential for writing a generic table editor (ie one that just takes the name of the table and works out what fields it has, types, sizes etc.). Unfortunately, I am using psotgreSQL not mySql. Postgres has field_type and field_size functions but not as far as I can tell an equivalent of the mysql_field_flags() function. Without it, there is no way I can do generic ADDs and INSERTs.
Anyone know a workaround to get this information (eg is the field a primary key? Can it be NULL? Is it auto_increment?) in Postgres?
Cheers
Rob ButtroseThe previous problem to get the default values of a column:
Use the following query and parse the 'Default' column:
"SHOW COLUMNS FROM TableName"
or for a single entry:
"SHOW COLUMNS FROM TableName LIKE 'column'"
It will give you also values for Type, Null, Key and Extra (check with mysql program first, so you see what you get ;-)
