mysql_fetch

说明

object mysql_fetch_field ( resource result [, int field_offset] )

返回一个包含字段信息的对象。

mysql_fetch_field() 可以用来从某个查询结果中取得字段的信息。如果没有指定字段偏移量，则下一个尚未被 mysql_fetch_field() 取得的字段被提取。

对象的属性为：

name - 列名
table - 该列所在的表名
max_length - 该列最大长度
not_null - 1，如果该列不能为 NULL
primary_key - 1，如果该列是 primary key
unique_key - 1，如果该列是 unique key
multiple_key - 1，如果该列是 non-unique key
numeric - 1，如果该列是 numeric
blob - 1，如果该列是 BLOB
type - 该列的类型
unsigned - 1，如果该列是无符号数
zerofill - 1，如果该列是 zero-filled

注: 本函数返回的字段名是区分大小写的。

例子 1. mysql_fetch_field()
<?php mysql_connect('localhost:3306', $user, $password) or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("database"); $result = mysql_query("select * from table") or die("Query failed: " . mysql_error()); /* get column metadata */ $i = 0; while ($i < mysql_num_fields($result)) { echo "Information for column $i:<br />\n"; $meta = mysql_fetch_field($result); if (!$meta) { echo "No information available<br />\n"; } echo "<pre> blob: $meta->blob max_length: $meta->max_length multiple_key: $meta->multiple_key name: $meta->name not_null: $meta->not_null numeric: $meta->numeric primary_key: $meta->primary_key table: $meta->table type: $meta->type unique_key: $meta->unique_key unsigned: $meta->unsigned zerofill: $meta->zerofill </pre>"; $i++; } mysql_free_result($result); ?>

Here's a function which compiles an array out of a mysql query for any number of columns using this function:



<?

function compile_array($mysql) {

    $i = 0;

    while ($field = mysql_fetch_field($mysql)) {

        /* Create an array $fields which contains all of the column names */

        $fields[$i] = $field->name; 

        $i++;

    }

    $i = 0;

    while ($mysql_result = mysql_fetch_array($mysql)) {

        foreach ($fields as $val) {

            /* Compiles an array in the format:

               $data [ row number ] [ column name ] */

            $data[$i][$val] = $mysql_result[$val];

        }

        $i++;

    }

    return $data;

}

?>

just another option to get all enum|set values from table definition. values are stored into arrays using the same field name



$result = mysql_query("SHOW COLUMNS FROM [table_name]");

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

   if(ereg(('set|enum'), $row->Type)){

       eval(ereg_replace('set|enum', '$'.$row->Field.' = array', $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.

If you need to get separated field size you should use

this part of code (I also included a database request function):



!!!!! Take care of warped lines



----------------

// Function to call to perform a database request



<?

function sql_request($sql_query,$db_name)

  {

    global $rows_count;

    $db_link = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password") 

or die("MySQL connect failed");

    @mysql_select_db($db_name) or 

die("unable to select: $db_name");

    $query_answer = mysql_query($sql_query);

    $rows_count = mysql_num_rows($query_answer);

    mysql_close($db_link);

    return $query_answer;

  }



$editing_db = "mydb";

$editing_table = "mytable";



$query_answer = sql_request("SHOW FIELDS FROM $editing_table",$editing_db);

$i = 0;

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query_answer))

{

  $table_structure[$i][0] = $row['Field'];

  $first_parenthesis = strpos($row['Type'],"(");

  $last_parenthesis = strpos($row['Type'],")");

  if ($first_parenthesis AND $last_parenthesis)

  {

    $table_structure[$i][1] = substr($row['Type'],0,$first_parenthesis);

    $table_structure[$i][2] = substr($row['Type'],$first_parenthesis+1,

$last_parenthesis-$first_parenthesis-1);

  }

  if ($row[Key] == "PRI") $table_structure[$i][3] = 1;

  echo $i." ".$table_structure[$i][0]." ";

  echo $table_structure[$i][1]." ";

  echo $table_structure[$i][2]." ".$table_structure[$i][3]."<br>";

  $i++;

}

?>

Hope this will be usefull!

A far easier way of getting information upon an enum field, is this.



function enumget($field="",$table="") {

    $result=mysql_query("SHOW COLUMNS FROM `$table` LIKE '$field'");

    if(mysql_num_rows($result)>0){

        $row=mysql_fetch_row($result);

        $options=explode("','", preg_replace("/(enum|set)\('(.+?)'\)/","\\2", $row[1]));

    } else {

        $options=array();

    }

    return $options;

}

Sorry, the last pattern doesn't work with type whithout length, so it would be better if you change it with this one :

    "^([a-zA-Z]+)\(?([^\)]*)\)?$"



It's still $type[1] for the type and $type[2] for the length.

mysql_fetch_field will fail if your result set's internal pointer has advanced past the end of the result.



So, if you use ...



$result = mysql_query("select * from person where id=1"); // returns 1 row

$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);



while($field = mysql_fetch_field){

 echo $field->name;

}



... you won't see any fields.  If you need to use mysql_fetch_field, you need to do it before you've iterated through all the rows in the result set.

#Input: the table name and the enum field

#Output: an array that stores all options of the enum field or 

#false if the input field is not an enum

function getEnumOptions($table, $field) {

   $finalResult = array();



   if (strlen(trim($table)) < 1) return false;

   $query  = "show columns from $table";

   $result = mysql_query($query);

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

        if ($field != $row["Field"]) continue;

        //check if enum type

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

            $opts = explode(',', $match[1]);

            foreach ($opts as $item)

                $finalResult[] = substr($item, 1, strlen($item)-2);

        }

        else

                return false;

   }

   return $finalResult;

}



The function could be handy when making a selection option without typing all the options items respectively.

Slight error in the above comment:

$fieldLen = split("','",substr(1,-1,$fieldLen));



should read:

$fieldLen = split("','",substr($fieldLen,1,-1));



oops! ;)



I did take the above code (which saved me at least two hours worth of work), and massaged it into a function:



function mysql_enum_values($tableName,$fieldName)

{

  $result = mysql_query("DESCRIBE $tableName");



  //then loop:

  while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

  {

    //# row is mysql type, in format "int(11) unsigned zerofill"

    //# or "enum('cheese','salmon')" etc.



    ereg('^([^ (]+)(\((.+)\))?([ ](.+))?$',$row['Type'],$fieldTypeSplit);

    //# split type up into array

    $ret_fieldName = $row['Field'];

    $fieldType = $fieldTypeSplit[1];// eg 'int' for integer.

    $fieldFlags = $fieldTypeSplit[5]; // eg 'binary' or 'unsigned zerofill'.

    $fieldLen = $fieldTypeSplit[3]; // eg 11, or 'cheese','salmon' for enum.



    if (($fieldType=='enum' || $fieldType=='set') && ($ret_fieldName==$fieldName) )

    {

      $fieldOptions = split("','",substr($fieldLen,1,-1));

      return $fieldOptions;

    }

  }



  //if the funciton makes it this far, then it either 

  //did not find an enum/set field type, or it 

  //failed to find the the fieldname, so exit FALSE!

  return FALSE;



}



The most useful thing that I can think to do with this is to populate a HTML Dropdown box with it:



echo "<SELECT NAME=\"Select\" SIZE='1'>";

foreach($fieldOptions as $tmp)

{

  echo "<OPTION>$tmp";

}



Hope this helps  :D

Same problem, slightly different solution.



$result = mysql_query("DESCRIBE tablename");

# or SHOW COLUMNS FROM

# or SHOW FIELDS FROM



then loop:



$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

# row is mysql type, in format "int(11) unsigned zerofill"

# or "enum('cheese','salmon')" etc.



ereg('^([^ (]+)(\((.+)\))?([ ](.+))?$',$row['Type'],$fieldTypeSplit);

# split type up into array



$fieldType = $fieldTypeSplit[1]; # eg 'int' for integer.

$fieldFlags = $fieldTypeSplit[5]; # eg 'binary' or 'unsigned zerofill'.

$fieldLen = $fieldTypeSplit[3]; # eg 11, or 'cheese','salmon' for enum.



You might then like to:



if ($fieldType=='enum' or $fieldType=='set')

  $fieldLen = split("','",substr(1,-1,$fieldLen));



So for enum or set types, $fieldLen becomes an array of possible values.



Hope that helps someone out there...

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:

$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.



//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.

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....



$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'];

}

If you want to get the max length of a column not just the data use this:


$result = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM table");


$fields = mysql_num_fields ($result);


$i = 0;


while ($i < $fields) {


$len   = mysql_field_len   ($result, $i);


$i++;


}
