mysql_list_fields

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

mysql_list_fields — List MySQL table fields

Avertizare

Această funcție a devenit învechită în PHP 5.4.0, și a fost eliminată în PHP 7.0.0, împreună cu întreaga extensie MySQL originală. În locul ei trebuie utilizată extensia activ dezvoltată MySQLi sau PDO_MySQL. Accesați de asemenea ghidul MySQL: selectarea unei API și FAQ asociat pentru informații suplimentare. Variante alternative pentru această funcție includ:

SQL Query: SHOW COLUMNS FROM sometable

Descrierea

mysql_list_fields ( string $database_name , string $table_name , resource $link_identifier = NULL ) : resource

Retrieves information about the given table name.

This function is deprecated. It is preferable to use mysql_query() to issue an SQL SHOW COLUMNS FROM table [LIKE 'name'] statement instead.

Parametri

database_name: The name of the database that's being queried.
table_name: The name of the table that's being queried.
link_identifier: Conexiunea MySQL. Dacă identificatorul legăturii nu este specificat, se presupune că este ultima legătură deschisă cu ajutorul mysql_connect(). Dacă nu este găsită nici o astfel de legătură, se va încerca crearea uneia prin apelul mysql_connect () fără argumente. În caz că nici o conexiune nu este găsită sau stabilită, se va genera o eroare de nivelul E_WARNING.

Valorile întoarse

A result pointer resource on success, or false on failure.

The returned result can be used with mysql_field_flags(), mysql_field_len(), mysql_field_name() și mysql_field_type().

Exemple

Example #1 Alternate to deprecated mysql_list_fields()


<?php
$result = mysql_query("SHOW COLUMNS FROM sometable");
if (!$result) {
    echo 'Could not run query: ' . mysql_error();
    exit;
}
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        print_r($row);
    }
}
?>

Exemplul de mai sus va afișa ceva similar cu:

Array
(
    [Field] => id
    [Type] => int(7)
    [Null] =>  
    [Key] => PRI
    [Default] =>
    [Extra] => auto_increment
)
Array
(
    [Field] => email
    [Type] => varchar(100)
    [Null] =>
    [Key] =>
    [Default] =>
    [Extra] =>
)

Note

Notă:
Pentru compatibilitatea cu versiunile anterioare, următorul pseudonim învechit poate fi utilizat: mysql_listfields()

mysql_field_flags() - Get the flags associated with the specified field in a result
mysql_info() - Get information about the most recent query

If you're willing to use a lot of functions to get a little information about fields in a table, this function is for you.  If you just want to get all the information you can find, you can use this:

<?php

// Taken from: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-field-flags.php
// Original by: amir at scrounch dot com
// Returns the name of the fields in the primary key for a table.
// Also keeps the fields in KEY order.  Handy.
function getPrimaryKeyOf($table) { 
  $keys = Array();

  $query = sprintf("SHOW KEYS FROM `%s`", $table);
  $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

  while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    if ( $row['Key_name'] == 'PRIMARY' )
      $keys[$row['Seq_in_index'] - 1] = $row['Column_name'];
  }

  return $keys;
}

// Returns a bunch of information about a table...
// The name of the auto-increment field, if any, fields in the
// primary key (using the function above), and all information
// about all fields.
function getTableInformationOf($table) {
  $information = array(
      "auto"    => "",
      "primary" => array(),
      "fields"  => array()
    );

  $information['primary'] = $this->getPrimaryKeyOf($table);

  $result = mysql_query("DESC `$table`");
  while ( $field = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) ) {
    $information['fields'][] = $field;
    if ( $field['Extra'] == "auto_increment" )
      $information['auto'] = $field['Field'];
  }

  return $information;
}

?>

To make an array containing the names of a column from a table, you use the following simple script: (Note: using table1 with three columns)



<?php

$qColumnNames = mysql_query("SHOW COLUMNS FROM table1",$db) or die("mysql error");

$numColumns = mysql_num_rows($qColumnNames);

$x = 0;

while ($x < $numColumns)

{

    $colname = mysql_fetch_row($qColumnNames);

    $col[$colname[0]] = $colname[0];

    $x++;

}



print_r($col);



/* it will have the following output

Array (

[firstcolumn] => firstcolumn

[secondcolumn] => secondcolumn

[thirdcolumn] => thirdcolumn

)

*/

?>



Or you can number the columns from zero.  This help when using it in conjunction with mysql_fetch_row to get an array.  You don't have to remember which number of the array a certain column is.



<?php

$qColumnNames = mysql_query("SHOW COLUMNS FROM table1",$db) or die("mysql error");

$numColumns = mysql_num_rows($qColumnNames);

$x = 0;

while ($x < $numColumns)

{

    $colname = mysql_fetch_row($qColumnNames);

    $col[$colname[0]] = $x;

    $x++;

}



print_r($col);



/* it will have the following output

Array (

[firstcolumn] => 0

[secondcolumn] => 1

[thirdcolumn] => 2

)

*/

?>



To use it in conjuction with mysql_fetch_row:



<?php

$row = mysql_fetch_row("SELECT * from table1",$db) or die("mysql error");

?>



You can now call $row[col[firstcolumn]].  This becomes useful when you have a lot of columns.

Below script is used to get all coloumn indormation of an table.When we are working custome ORM then we need to match the coloumn name with array keys.



<?php

function getColoumn($table) {

     $result = mysql_query("SHOW COLUMNS FROM ". $table);

      if (!$result) {

        echo 'Could not run query: ' . mysql_error();

      }

      $fieldnames=array();

      if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {

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

          $fieldnames[] = $row['Field'];

        }

      }



      return $fieldnames;

}

?>

mysql_list_fields() retrieves information about the given table name but you can use something like mysql_fetch_field to retrieve the field names from a result source.

Every my html table output begins with heading row containing the field names. For that purpose I accepted the short combination of MySQL function, giving me a result similar to the mysql_fetch_array() for the row of values. The following example shows the basic idea. It should be adapted for the specific use:

<?php 
//...
$field_names = array_keys( mysql_fetch_array( mysql_query( $query, $link), MYSQL_ASSOC)); 
//...
?>

The advantage of this is, that it gives the names of the result, neither the field names of the whole table. 
Please read the discussion about duplicate field names in SQL result carefully. The use, as shown in the example above, increments the pointer, hence some regular function, which does not, could be more useful :-)

Note, using mysql_list_fields will change the currently selected database so subsequent mysql_query operations will be on the database in param 1 not the one selected with mysql_select_db
