This may or may not be obvious to people but perhaps it will help someone.
When running joins in SQL you may encounter a problem if you are trying to pull two columns with the same name. mysqli returns the last in the query when called by name. So to get what you need you can use an alias.
Below I am trying to join a user id with a user role. in the first table (tbl_usr), role is a number and in the second is a text name (tbl_memrole is a lookup table). If I call them both as role I get the text as it is the last "role" in the query. If I use an alias then I get both as desired as shown below.
<?php
$sql = "SELECT a.uid, a.role AS roleid, b.role,
FROM tbl_usr a
INNER JOIN tbl_memrole b
ON a.role = b.id
";
if ($result = $mysqli->query($sql)) {
while($obj = $result->fetch_object()){
$line.=$obj->uid;
$line.=$obj->role;
$line.=$obj->roleid;
}
}
$result->close();
unset($obj);
unset($sql);
unset($query);
?>
In this situation I guess I could have just renamed the role column in the first table roleid and that would have taken care of it, but it was a learning experience.
mysqli::query
mysqli_query
(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
mysqli::query -- mysqli_query — Executa uma consulta no banco de dados
Descrição
Estilo orientado a objetos
Estilo procedural
mysqli_query(mysqli
$mysql, string $query, int $result_mode = MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT): mysqli_result|bool
Executa uma query no banco de dados.
Aviso
Alerta de segurança: injeção de SQL
Se a consulta contiver qualquer entrada de variável, instruções preparadas parametrizadas devem ser usadas. Alternativamente, os dados devem ser formatados corretamente e todas as strings devem ser escapadas usando a função mysqli_real_escape_string().
Para consultas não-DML (não INSERT, UPDATE ou DELETE), esta função é semelhante a chamar mysqli_real_query() seguido por mysqli_use_result() ou mysqli_store_result().
Nota:
No caso em que uma instrução é passada para mysqli_query() que é maior que
max_allowed_packetdo servidor, os códigos de erro retornados são diferentes dependendo se você está usando MySQL Native Driver (mysqlnd)ou MySQL Client Library (libmysqlclient). O comportamento é o seguinte:
mysqlndno Linux retorna um código de erro de 1153. A mensagem de erro significa querecebi um pacote maior que.max_allowed_packetbytes
mysqlndno Windows retorna um código de erro 2006. Esta mensagem de erro significa que oserver has gone away.
libmysqlclientem todas as plataformas retorna um código de erro 2006. Essa mensagem de erro significa que oservidor foi desativado.
Parâmetros
-
mysql -
Somente no estilo procedural: Um objeto mysqli retornado por mysqli_connect() ou mysqli_init()
-
query -
A string de consulta.
-
result_mode -
O modo de resultado pode ser uma das 3 constantes que indicam como o resultado será retornado do servidor MySQL.
MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT(padrão) - retorna um objeto mysqli_resultcom conjunto de resultados em buffer.MYSQLI_USE_RESULT- retorna um objeto mysqli_result com conjunto de resultados sem buffer. Enquanto houver registros pendentes esperando para serem buscados, a linha de conexão estará ocupada e todas as chamadas subseqüentes retornarão o erroCommands out of sync. Para evitar o erro, todos os registros devem ser buscados no servidor ou o conjunto de resultados deve ser descartado chamando mysqli_free_result().MYSQLI_ASYNC(disponível com mysqlnd) - a consulta é executada de forma assíncrona e nenhum conjunto de resultados é retornado imediatamente. mysqli_poll() é então usado para obter resultados de tais consultas. Usado em combinação com a constanteMYSQLI_STORE_RESULTouMYSQLI_USE_RESULT.
Valor Retornado
Retorna false em caso de falha. Para consultas bem-sucedidas que produzem um
conjunto de resultados, como SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE ou
EXPLAIN, mysqli_query() retornará um objeto
mysqli_result. Para outras consultas bem-sucedidas,
mysqli_query() retornará
true.
Erros/Exceções
Se o relatório de erros da extensão mysqli estiver habilitado (MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR) e a operação solicitada falhar,
um aviso será gerado. Se, além disso, o modo for definido como MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT,
uma exceção mysqli_sql_exception será lançada em vez do aviso.
Exemplos
Exemplo #1 mysqli::query() exemplo
Estilo orientado a objetos
<?php
mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* Criar tabela não retorna um conjunto de resultados */
$mysqli->query("CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE myCity LIKE City");
printf("Tabela myCity criada com sucesso.\n");
/* Consultas selecionadas retornam um conjunto de resultados */
$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT Name FROM City LIMIT 10");
printf("Select retornou %d linhas.\n", $result->num_rows);
/* Se tivermos que recuperar uma grande quantidade de dados, usamos MYSQLI_USE_RESULT */
$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM City", MYSQLI_USE_RESULT);
/* Observe que não podemos executar nenhuma função que interaja com o
servidor até que todos os registros tenham sido totalmente recuperados ou o resultado
conjunto foi fechado. Todas as chamadas retornarão um erro 'fora de sincronia'*/
$mysqli->query("SET @a:='isso não vai funcionar'");Estilo procedural
<?php
mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* Criar tabela não retorna um conjunto de resultados */
mysqli_query($link, "CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE myCity LIKE City");
printf("Tabela myCity criada com sucesso.\n");
/* Select queries return a resultset */
$result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT Name FROM City LIMIT 10");
printf("Select retornou %d linhas.\n", mysqli_num_rows($result));
/* Se tivermos que recuperar uma grande quantidade de dados, usamos MYSQLI_USE_RESULT */
$result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT * FROM City", MYSQLI_USE_RESULT);
* Observe que não podemos executar nenhuma função que interaja com o
servidor até que todos os registros tenham sido totalmente recuperados ou o resultado
conjunto foi fechado. Todas as chamadas retornarão um erro 'fora de sincronia'*/
mysqli_query($link, "SET @a:='isso não vai funcionar'");Os exemplos acima produzirão algo semelhante a:
Tabela myCity criada com sucesso. Select retornou 10 linhas. Erro fatal: mysqli_sql_exception não capturado: Comandos fora de sincronia; você não pode executar este comando agora em ...

The cryptic "Couldn't fetch mysqli" error message can mean any number of things, including:
1. You're trying to use a database object that you've already closed (as noted by ceo at l-i-e dot com). Reopen your database connection, or find the call to <?php mysqli_close($db); ?> or <?php $db->close(); ?> and remove it.
2. Your MySQLi object has been serialized and unserialized for some reason. Define a wakeup function to re-create your database connection. http://php.net/__wakeup
3. Something besides you closed your mysqli connection (in particular, see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33772)
4. You mixed OOP and functional calls to the database object. (So, you have <?php $db->query() ?> in the same program as <?php mysqli_query($db) ?>).

When calling multiple stored procedures, you can run into the following error: "Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now".
This can happen even when using the close() function on the result object between calls.
To fix the problem, remember to call the next_result() function on the mysqli object after each stored procedure call. See example below:
<?php
// New Connection
$db = new mysqli('localhost','user','pass','database');
// Check for errors
if(mysqli_connect_errno()){
echo mysqli_connect_error();
}
// 1st Query
$result = $db->query("call getUsers()");
if($result){
// Cycle through results
while ($row = $result->fetch_object()){
$user_arr[] = $row;
}
// Free result set
$result->close();
$db->next_result();
}
// 2nd Query
$result = $db->query("call getGroups()");
if($result){
// Cycle through results
while ($row = $result->fetch_object()){
$group_arr[] = $row;
}
// Free result set
$result->close();
$db->next_result();
}
else echo($db->error);
// Close connection
$db->close();

"In PHP 8.1, the default error handling behavior of the MySQLi extension has changed from silencing errors to throw an Exception on errors. "
This is true even for the procedural use of mysqli, i.e. mysqli_query.
Hence, using if(!mysqli_query($c, $sql)) [...] is pointless.
To disable Exception throwing : mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_OFF);

Here is an example of a clean query into a html table
<table>
<tr>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>City</th>
</tr>
<?php while ($row = $myquery->fetch_assoc()) { ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $row["firstname"]; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row["lastname"]; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row["city"];?></td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
</table>

I like to save the query itself in a log file, so that I don't have to worry about whether the site is live.
For example, I might have a global function:
<?php
function UpdateLog ( $string , $logfile ) {
$fh = fopen ( $logfile , 'a' );
$fwrite ( $fh , strftime ('%F %T %z')." ".$string."\n";
fclose ( $fh );
}
?>
Then in my mysql function error trapper, something like this:
<?php
$error_msg = "Database error in [page].php / ";
$error_msg .= mysqli_error ( $link )." / ";
$error_msg .= $query;
UpdateLog ( $error_msg , DB_ERROR_LOG_FILE );
?>
I also include the remote IP, user agent, etc., but I left it out of these code samples. And have it e-mail me when an error is caught, too.

Translation:
"Couldn't fetch mysqli"
You closed your connection and are trying to use it again.
It has taken me DAYS to figure out what this obscure error message means...

Stored Procedures.
Use mysqli_query to call a stored procedure that returns a result set.
Here is a short example:
<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli(DBURI,DBUSER,DBPASS,DBNAME);
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
printf("Connection failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
$SQL = "CALL my_procedure($something)";
if ( ($result = $mysqli->query($SQL))===false )
{
printf("Invalid query: %s\nWhole query: %s\n", $mysqli->error, $SQL);
exit();
}
while ($myrow = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC))
{
$aValue[]=$myrow["a"];
$bValue[]=$myrow["b"];
}
$result->close();
$mysqli->close();
?>
I hope this saves someone some time.

Calling Stored Procedures
Beeners' note/example will not work. Use mysqli_multi_query() to call a Stored Procedure. SP's have a second result-set which contains the status: 'OK' or 'ERR'. Using mysqli_query will not work, as there are multiple results.
<?php
$sQuery="CALL SomeSP('params')";
if(!mysqli_multi_query($sqlLink,$sQuery)) {
// your error handler
}
$sqlResult=mysqli_store_result($sqlLink);
if(mysqli_more_results($this->sqlLink))//Catch 'OK'/'ERR'
while(mysqli_next_result($this->sqlLink));
?>
You will have to rewrite/expand this a bit for more usability of course, but it's just an example.

For those using with replication enabled on their servers, add a mysqli_select_db() statement before any data modification queries. MySQL replication does not handle statements with db.table the same and will not replicate to the slaves if a scheme is not selected before.
Found out after days of resetting master and slaves on another site http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/mysql-5-1-not-replicating-properly-with-slave-823296/

Use difference collation/character for connect, result.
You can set the collation before your query.
E.g. want to set the collation to utf8_general_ci
you can send the query "SET NAMES 'utf8'" first
<?php
$mysqli=new mysqli('localhost', 'root', 'password', 'test');
$mysqli->query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
$q=$mysqli->query("select * from test");
while($r=$q->fetch_assoc()) {
print_r($r);
}
?>
There are many variables about character settings.
By running sql command, SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'char%';
There are some variables control the character usage.
character_set_client
character_set_connection
character_set_database
character_set_results
character_set_server
character_set_system
Also SET NAMES can repalce with one or some settings like SET character_set_results='utf8';

When building apps, i like to see the whole statement when if fails.
<?php
$q="SELECT somecolumn FROM sometable"; //some instruction
$r=mysqli_query($DBlink,$q) or die(mysqli_error($DBlink)." Q=".$q);
?>
If theres an error (like my numerous typing mistakes) this shows the entire instruction.
Good for development (not so good on production servers - simply find and replace when finished: $r=mysqli_query($DBlink,$q); )
Hope it helps. Jon

mysqli::query() can only execute one SQL statement.
Use mysqli::multi_query() when you want to run multiple SQL statements within one query.

Building inserts can be annoying. This helper function inserts an array into a table, using the key names as column names:
<?php
private function store_array (&$data, $table, $mysqli)
{
$cols = implode(',', array_keys($data));
foreach (array_values($data) as $value)
{
isset($vals) ? $vals .= ',' : $vals = '';
$vals .= '\''.$this->mysql->real_escape_string($value).'\'';
}
$mysqli->real_query('INSERT INTO '.$table.' ('.$cols.') VALUES ('.$vals.')');
}
?>
Adapt it to your specific needs.

Hi, i created function that add a new table using array , i work with it on my projects ...
<?PHP
/* this function was learned from PHP.net */
function array_keys_exist(&$key,array &$array){
$keys = split("\|",$key);
foreach($keys as $key_s){
if(array_key_exists($key_s, $array)) return true;
}
return false;
}
/*and this is my function */
array_create_table(array &$array){
if(is_array($array)){
$key = "table|rows|values";
$info = "";
if(array_keys_exist($key,$array)){
if(is_array($array["rows"]) and is_array($array["values"]) ){
if(count($array["rows"]) == count($array["values"])) {
for($i=0; $i<=count($array["rows"]); $i++){
$info = $info." ".$array["rows"][$i]." ".$array["values"][$i]." NOT NULL ";
if($i < count($array["rows"])-1 ) $info = $info.",";
}
$query = "CREATE TABLE ".$this->private_tables_name.$array["table"]." ";
$query .= "( id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, ".$info." )";
return $query;
}
}
}else return "Error";
}
}
/* the use is simple */
$database = new database(); // connection to database i used mysqli ...
$array = array("table"=>"MRO", "rows"=>array("name","username") , "values" => array("VARCHAR (50) "," VARCHAR (50) ") );
$query = array_create_table($array); // convert and create the query ...
if($database->query($query)) echo "Work"; else echo "Error"; // result : work

The exact type returned by a successful query is mysqli_result.
popere dot noel at yahoo dot com ¶

or you could just extend the class...
in my case i already had a wraper for the db so something like this was easy :
public function free($result) {
$result->free_result();
$this->link->next_result();
}
just tried it and it works like a charm ;-)

Recently I had puzzling problem when performing DML queries, update in particular, each time a update query is called and then there are some more queries to follow this error will show on the page and go in the error_log:
"Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0"
The strange thing is that all queries go through just fine so it didn't make much sense:
$update = mysqli_query($connection, $query_string);
if(!$update){
echo 'Houston we have a problem '.mysqli_error($connection);
exit;
}
In the above example "$update" is "true", mysqli_error() is empty and of course the update operation goes through, however the nasty super cryptic error appears on the page.
What makes even less sense to me is how I fixed it - just called "mysqli_free_result" after the update query and the problem was gone, however because mysqli_free_result is not supposed to be called after DML queries (to free what, a boolean? lol) it needs to be wrapped in a try catch block:
try{
mysqli_free_result($update);
}catch (Exception $e){
//do nothing
}
So, I don't know why but it seems that when DML queries are responsible for:
"Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0"
calling "mysqli_free_result" after the query seems to be fixing the issue

If you use the default resultmode of MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT, you can call $mysqli->close() right after $mysqli->query and before you use mysqli_result. This reduces the time the connection is open, which can help if the database server has a limit on how many connections there can be.
