mysql_field_name — Get the name of the specified field in a result

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:

mysqli_fetch_field_direct() [name] or [orgname]
PDOStatement::getColumnMeta() [name]

Açıklama

This function is slightly stupid to be honest, why not just make an array of field names... You could consolidate the two of these functions that way and it makes it a lot easier to list them when your script is dynamic.

<?php

    function mysql_field_array( $query ) {
    
        $field = mysql_num_fields( $query );
    
        for ( $i = 0; $i < $field; $i++ ) {
        
            $names[] = mysql_field_name( $query, $i );
        
        }
        
        return $names;
    
    }
    
    // Examples of use
    
    $fields = mysql_field_array( $query );
    
    // Show name of column 3
    
    echo $fields[3];
    
    // Show them all
    
    echo implode( ', ', $fields[3] );
    
     // Count them - easy equivelant to 'mysql_num_fields'
    
    echo count( $fields );

?>

This is another variant of displaying all columns of a query result, but with a simplified while loop.

<?
$query="select * from user";
$result=mysql_query($query);
$numfields = mysql_num_fields($result);

echo "<table>\n<tr>";

for ($i=0; $i < $numfields; $i++) // Header
{ echo '<th>'.mysql_field_name($result, $i).'</th>'; }

echo "</tr>\n";

while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) // Data
{ echo '<tr><td>'.implode($row,'</td><td>')."</td></tr>\n"; }

echo "</table>\n"
?>

here's one way to print out a row of <th> tags from a table

NOTE: i didn't test this



$result = mysql_query("select * from table");



for ($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_fields($result); $i++) {

    print "<th>".mysql_field_name($result, $i)."</th>\n";

}

james, why make so difficult when it's very simple :\

$numberfields = mysql_num_fields($res_gb);

   for ($i=0; $i<$numberfields ; $i++ ) {
       $var = mysql_field_name($res_gb, $i);
       $row_title .= $var;
   }

echo $row_title;

The code in the last comment has an obvious mistake in the for loop expression.  The correct expression in the for-loop is $x<$y rather than $x<=$y...

$result = mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die(mysql_error());
$rowcount=mysql_num_rows($result);
$y=mysql_num_fields($result);
for ($x=0; $x<$y; $x++) {
   echo = mysql_field_name($result, $x).'<br>';
}

simple sql to xml converter works with any sql query and returns the name of the table as the root element "row" as each row element and the names of the columns are your children of row. fully tested.



<?php

function sqlToXml($host,$user,$pass,$database,$tablename,$query){



    $link   = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());

    $db     = mysql_select_db($database, $link) or die(mysql_error());

    

    $result = mysql_query($query);

    if(!$result){ die('Invalid query: '.mysql_error()); }

    

    $numOfCols = mysql_num_fields($result);

    $numOfRows = mysql_num_rows($result);

    

    $info = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

    

    //send headers

    header('Content-type: text/xml');

    header('Pragma: public');        

    header('Cache-control: private');

    header('Expires: -1');

    $xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>';

    $xml.= "<{$tablename}>";

    

    if($numOfRows > 0){

        do {

            $xml.= "<row>";

            foreach($info as $column => $value) {

                $xml.= "<{$column}>{$value}</{$column}>";

            }

            $xml.= "</row>";

        }

        while ($info = mysql_fetch_array($result));

    $xml.= "</{$tablename}>";

    

    mysql_free_result($result);

Strangely using an aproach like this:
$res=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `orders`",$conec) or die (mysql_error());

$fields = mysql_num_fields($res);
$out="";
for ($i = 0; $i < $fields; $i++) {
    $fname=mysql_field_name($res, $i);

}

 Outputted the E_Warning:
Warning: mysql_field_name() [function.mysql-field-name]: Field N is invalid for MySQL result index 

 With a lot of different number at N. But expliciting all fields instead of *. Didn't outputted the error.

 It maybe a caracteristic of this mysql database(it is from a open source application) because i never saw this in my own databases. Anyway hope this help if someone face the same strange situation

The following will create a PHP array, $array, containing the MySQL query results with array indexes of the same name as field names returned by the MySQL query.

while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
    $i=0;
    foreach ($line as $col_value) {
        $field=mysql_field_name($result,$i);
        $array[$field] = $col_value;
        $i++;
    }
}

When using aliases, it appears impossible to discover the name of the underlying column.
select `ID` as `anAlias` from `aTable` returns 'anAlias' as the mysql_field_name(). I have tried all the mysql_field_xxx() functions and none return the real column name.

T simply itterate through all the field names on a result set try using this.

$result = mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die(mysql_error());
$rowcount=mysql_num_rows($result);
$y=mysql_num_fields($result);
for ($x=0; $x<=$y; $x++) {
    echo = mysql_field_name($result, $x).'<br>';
}

This is useful if you have a result set that joins several tables dynamicaly and you are never sure what all the fields will be when you come to display them.

I suggest you place this within a loop through your result rows and include a field flag check  around the echo to only show certain data types like this.

$y=mysql_num_fields($result);
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
  for ($x=0; $x<=$y; $x++) {
    $fieldname=mysql_field_name($result,$x);
    $fieldtype=mysql_field_type($result, $x);
    if ($fieldtype=='string' && $row[$fieldname]!='')    
       echo $row[$fieldname].' , ';
   }
   echo '<br>';
}

You could probably elaborate on this by sending a full sql query to this function...but I titled it simple_query() because it doesn't really allow for joins.  Never the less, if you want to get a quick array full of a single row result set this is painless:

function simple_query($table_name, $key_col, $key_val) {
    // open the db
    $db_link = my_sql_link();
    // query table using key col/val
    $db_rs = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table_name WHERE $key_col = $key_val", $db_link);
    $num_fields = mysql_num_fields($db_rs);
    if ($num_fields) {
        // first (and only) row
        $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($db_rs);
        // load up array
        for ($i = 0; $i < $num_fields; $i++) {
            $simple_q[mysql_field_name($db_rs, $i)] = $row[mysql_field_name($db_rs, $i)];
        }
        // and return
        return $simple_q;
    } else {
        // no rows
        return false;
    }
    mysql_free_result($db_rs);
}

**Please note that my_sql_link() is just a function I have to open up a my sql connection.**
