mysqli_stmt_result_metadata
Returns result set metadata from a prepared statement
(PHP 5)
mysqli_result mysqli_stmt_result_metadata ( mysqli_stmt stmt )
Procedural style:
Object oriented style (method):
mysqli_stmt {
mysqli_result result_metadata();
}If a statement passed to mysqli_prepare() is one that produces a result set, mysqli_stmt_result_metadata() returns the result object that can be used to process the meta information such as total number of fields and individual field information.
This result set pointer can be passed as an argument to any of the field-based functions that process result set metadata, such as:
The result set structure should be freed when you are done with it, which you can do by passing it to mysqli_free_result()
The result set returned by mysqli_stmt_result_metadata() contains only metadata. It does not contain any row results. The rows are obtained by using the statement handle with mysqli_stmt_fetch().
Examples
Example 1576. Object oriented style
<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "test");
$mysqli->query("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS friends");
$mysqli->query("CREATE TABLE friends (id int, name varchar(20))");
$mysqli->query("INSERT INTO friends VALUES (1,'Hartmut'), (2, 'Ulf')");
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT id, name FROM friends");
$stmt->execute();
/* get resultset for metadata */
$result = $stmt->result_metadata();
/* retrieve field information from metadata result set */
$field = $result->fetch_field();
printf("Fieldname: %s\n", $field->name);
/* close resultset */
$result->close();
/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>
Example 1577. Procedural style
<?php
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "test");
mysqli_query($link, "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS friends");
mysqli_query($link, "CREATE TABLE friends (id int, name varchar(20))");
mysqli_query($link, "INSERT INTO friends VALUES (1,'Hartmut'), (2, 'Ulf')");
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, "SELECT id, name FROM friends");
mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
/* get resultset for metadata */
$result = mysqli_stmt_result_metadata($stmt);
/* retrieve field information from metadata result set */
$field = mysqli_fetch_field($result);
printf("Fieldname: %s\n", $field->name);
/* close resultset */
mysqli_free_result($result);
/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>
