mysql_fetch_field — Get column information from a result and return as an object

Uyarı

Bu eklentinin kullanımı PHP 5.5.0 itibariyle önerilmemekte olup PHP 7.0.0'da kaldırılmıştır. Bu eklentinin yerine ya mysqli ya da PDO_MySQL eklentisi kullanılmalıdır. MySQL API seçerken MySQL API'ye Bakış belgesi yardımcı olabilir. Bu işlevin yerine kullanılabilecekler:

Açıklama

mysql_fetch_field(resource $result, int $field_offset = 0): object

Returns an object containing field information. This function can be used to obtain information about fields in the provided query result.

Bağımsız Değişkenler

sonuç: resource türünde sorgu sonucu. Bu sonuç bir mysql_query() çağrısının sonucudur.
field_offset: The numerical field offset. If the field offset is not specified, the next field that was not yet retrieved by this function is retrieved. The field_offset starts at 0.

Dönen Değerler

Returns an object containing field information. The properties of the object are:

name - column name
table - name of the table the column belongs to, which is the alias name if one is defined
max_length - maximum length of the column
not_null - 1 if the column cannot be null
primary_key - 1 if the column is a primary key
unique_key - 1 if the column is a unique key
multiple_key - 1 if the column is a non-unique key
numeric - 1 if the column is numeric
blob - 1 if the column is a BLOB
type - the type of the column
unsigned - 1 if the column is unsigned
zerofill - 1 if the column is zero-filled

Notlar

Bilginize: Bu işlevden dönen alan isimlerinin harf büyüklüklerinde değişiklik yapılmaz.

Bilginize:
If field or tablenames are aliased in the SQL query the aliased name will be returned. The original name can be retrieved for instance by using mysqli_result::fetch_field().

A little function to help coders to distinct the tablename from a multiselect query where some fields has the same name in differents tables.



<?php

public function sql($sql) {

    $T_Return=array();

    $result=@mysql_query($sql);

    

    $i=0;

    while ($i < mysql_num_fields($result)) {            

        $fields[]=mysql_fetch_field($result, $i);

        $i++;

    }

    

    while ($row=mysql_fetch_row($result)) {                

        $new_row=array();

        for($i=0;$i<count($row); $i++) {

            $new_row[ $fields[$i]->table][$fields[$i]->name]=$row[$i];

        }

        $T_Return[]=$new_row;

    }



    

    return $T_Return;

The field type returns what PHP classifies the data found in the field, not how it is stored in the database; use the following example to retrieve the MySQL information about the field....



<?php

$USERNAME = '';

$PASSWORD = '';



$DATABASE = '';

$TABLE_NAME = '';



mysql_connect('localhost', $USERNAME, $PASSWORD)

    or die ("Could not connect");



$result = mysql_query("SHOW FIELDS FROM $DATABASE.$TABLE_NAME");



$i = 0;



while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

  echo $row['Field'] . ' ' . $row['Type'];

}

?>

Be sure to note that $max_length is the length of the longest value for that field in the returned dataset, NOT the maximum length of data that column is designed to hold.

Performance Notes!

I used this script for testing, the table has 26 colums.

<?php
$t_start = microtime(true);
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `table` LIMIT 1") or trigger_error(mysql_error(), E_USER_WARNING);
for ($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_fields($sql); $i++) {
    $meta = mysql_fetch_field($sql, $i);
    echo "Information for column ".$meta->name.":\n";
    echo 
"\tblob:         $meta->blob
\tmax_length:   $meta->max_length
\tmultiple_key: $meta->multiple_key
\tname:         $meta->name
\tnot_null:     $meta->not_null
\tnumeric:      $meta->numeric
\tprimary_key:  $meta->primary_key
\ttable:        $meta->table
\ttype:         $meta->type
\tunique_key:   $meta->unique_key
\tunsigned:     $meta->unsigned
\tzerofill:     $meta->zerofill
";
}
$t_stop = microtime(true);
$t_proc = $t_stop - $t_start;
echo "processing time query 1: ".number_format($t_proc * 1000, 3)." ms\n";
unset($t_start);
unset($t_stop);
unset($t_proc);
$t_start = microtime(true);
$sql = mysql_query("DESCRIBE `table`");
while ($res = mysql_fetch_array($sql, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
    print_r($res);
}
$t_stop = microtime(true);
$t_proc = $t_stop - $t_start;
echo "processing time query 2: ".number_format($t_proc * 1000, 3)." ms\n";
?>

Query 1 => 0.444 ms
Query 2 => 1.146 ms

So for easy usage, Query 2 is advised... But if your a performance-geek, you should use Query 1.

Using mysql_fetch_field you can produce a more robust version of mysql_fetch_assoc.



When querying 2 tables with the same field names, generally you would need to use mysql_fetch_row to get an integer key'ed array rather than an associated key'ed array. This is because fields of the same name in the second table will over-write the data returned from the first table.

However this simple function will insert the table name prior to the field name for the key and prevent cross-overs.



ie SELECT *, 'test' AS test 4 FROM table AS T_1, table AS T_2 WHERE T_1.a=T_2.b



could produce:



mysql_fetch_assoc() returns

array(

'index'=>2,

'a'=>'pear',

'b'=>'apple',

'test'=>'test',

4=>4

)



mysql_fetch_table_assoc() returns

array(

'T_1.index' =>1,

'T_1.a'=>'apple',

'T_1.b'=>'banana',

'T_2.index'=>2,

'T_2.a'=>'pear',

'T_2.b'=>'apple',

'test'=>'test',

4=>4

)



<?php

function mysql_fetch_table_assoc($resource)

{

    // function to get all data from a query, without over-writing the same field

    // by using the table name and the field name as the index

    

    // get data first

    $data=mysql_fetch_row($resource);

    if(!$data) return $data; // end of data

    

    // get field info

    $fields=array();

    $index=0;

    $num_fields=mysql_num_fields($resource);

    while($index<$num_fields)

    {

        $meta=mysql_fetch_field($resource, $index);

        if(!$meta)

        {

            // if no field info then just use index number by default

            $fields[$index]=$index;

        }

        else

        {

            $fields[$index]='';

            // deal with field aliases - ie no table name (SELECT T_1.a AS temp)

            if(!empty($meta->table)) $fields[$index]=$meta->table.'.';

            // deal with raw data - ie no field name (SELECT 1)

            if(!empty($meta->name))  $fields[$index].=$meta->name; else $fields[$index].=$index;

        }

        $index++;

    }

    $assoc_data=array_combine($fields, $data);

    return $assoc_data;

}

?>

If you want the fields in a table, a simple DESCRIBE query will work:

<?php
$query ="DESCRIBE Users";
$result = mysql_query($query);

echo "<ul>";

while($i = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
     echo "<li>{$i['Field']}</li>";

echo "</ul>";
?>

Should do the trick.

It should be noted that the primary_key member variable is only set to 1 if the primary key on the table is only on that 1 field. If you have a table that has a multiple column primary key, then you will not get what you might expect.

For example:
CREATE TABLE `line_item_table` (
  `liForeignKey1` int(11) unsigned not null,
  `liForeignKey2` int(11) unsigned not null,
  PRIMARY KEY (`liForeignKey1`, `liForeignKey2`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;

While you might expect that primary_key == 1 for both columns; var_dump() will show you that you get the following for both fields:
["primary_key"]=>int(0)

This is as of PHP 5.2.13 and MySQL 5.0.51

Simple function to display all data in a query...

function dumpquery($query) {
    $numfields = mysql_num_fields($query);
    echo '<table border="1" bgcolor="white"><tr>';
    for ($i = 0; $i<$numfields; $i += 1) {
        $field = mysql_fetch_field($query, $i);
        echo '<th>' . $field->name . '</th>';
    }
    echo '</tr>';
    while ($fielddata = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
        echo '<tr>';
        for ($i = 0; $i<$numfields; $i += 1) {
            $field = mysql_fetch_field($query, $i);
            echo '<td>' . $fielddata[$field->name] . '</td>';
        }

XML generation.

Bit of a security risk allowing parameters to select db and table on live server (unless user is restricted or replace the $_GET with fixed value.)

Outputs xml with standard format for <config> part to generate forms in flash.

I needed to get the field information and the enum/set values. Here is the function I created to expand the object returned by mysql_fetch_field. I also, decided to return all the fields for a table in an array of field objects by "name" and position much like mysql_fetch_array does.



You could test it by using:



<?php

$myfields = GetFieldInfo('test_table');

print "<pre>";

print_r($myfields);

print "</pre>";

?>





The field objects now have 'len', 'values' and 'flags' parameters. 

NOTE: 'values' only has data for set and enum fields.



<?php

//This assumes an open database connection

//I also use a constant DB_DB for current database.

function GetFieldInfo($table)

{

  if($table == '') return false;

  $fields = mysql_list_fields(DB_DB, $table);

  if($fields){

    $columns = mysql_query('show columns from ' . $table);

    if($columns){

      $num = mysql_num_fields($fields);

      for($i=0; $i < $num; ++$i){

        $column = mysql_fetch_array($columns);

        $field = mysql_fetch_field($fields, $i);

        $flags = mysql_field_flags($fields, $i);

        if($flags == '') $flags=array();

        else $flags = explode(' ',$flags);

        if (ereg('enum.(.*).',$column['Type'],$match))

          $field->values = explode(',',$match[1]);

        if (ereg('set.(.*).',$column['Type'],$match))

          $field->values = explode(',',$match[1]);

        if(!$field->values) $field->values = array();

        $field->flags = $flags;

        $field->len = mysql_field_len($fields, $i);

        $result_fields[$field->name] = $field;

        $result_fields[$i] = $field;

      }

      mysql_free_result($columns);

    }

    mysql_free_result($fields);

    return $result_fields;

  }

  return false;

}

?>



hope someone else finds this useful.

An improvement on the earlier mysql_column_exists function.

<?php

function mysql_column_exists($table_name, $column_name, $link=false) {
    $result = @mysql_query("SHOW COLUMNS FROM $table_name LIKE '$column_name'", $link);
    return (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0);

MYSQLI_TYPE_BLOB indicates the field is a BLOB or a TEXT. I think you would need to check the blob value. If its true then it's a BLOB, otherwise it's a TEXT. Can someone confirm?
