PDOStatement->getColumnMeta — Returns metadata for a column in a result set
Diese Funktion ist EXPERIMENTELL. Das Verhalten, der Funktionsname und alles Andere, was hier dokumentiert ist, kann sich in zukünftigen PHP-Versionen ohne Ankündigung ändern. Seien Sie gewarnt und verwenden Sie diese Funktion auf eigenes Risiko.
Retrieves the metadata for a 0-indexed column in a result set as an associative array.
Not all PDO drivers support PDOStatement::getColumnMeta().
The 0-indexed column in the result set.
Returns an associative array containing the following values representing the metadata for a single column:
Name | Value |
---|---|
native_type | The PHP native type used to represent the column value. |
driver:decl_type | The SQL type used to represent the column value in the database. If the column in the result set is the result of a function, this value is not returned by PDOStatement::getColumnMeta(). |
flags | Any flags set for this column. |
name | The name of this column as returned by the database. |
table | The name of this column's table as returned by the database. |
len | The length of this column. Normally -1 for types other than floating point decimals. |
precision | The numeric precision of this column. Normally 0 for types other than floating point decimals. |
pdo_type | The type of this column as represented by the PDO::PARAM_* constants. |
Returns FALSE if the requested column does not exist in the result set, or if no result set exists.

Beispiel #1 Retrieving column metadata
The following example shows the results of retrieving the metadata for a single column generated by a function (COUNT) in a PDO_SQLITE driver.
<?php
$select = $DB->query('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM fruit');
$meta = $select->getColumnMeta(0);
var_dump($meta);
?>
Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:
array(6) { ["native_type"]=> string(7) "integer" ["flags"]=> array(0) { } ["name"]=> string(8) "COUNT(*)" ["len"]=> int(-1) ["precision"]=> int(0) ["pdo_type"]=> int(2) }
This method is supported in the MySQL 5.0+ driver. It can be used for object hydration:
<?php
$pdo_stmt = $dbh->execute('SELECT discussion.id, discussion.text, comment.id, comment.text FROM discussions LEFT JOIN comments ON comment.discussion_id = discussion.id');
foreach(range(0, $pdo_stmt->columnCount() - 1) as $column_index)
{
$meta[] = $pdo_stmt->getColumnMeta($column_index);
}
while($row = $pdo_stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM))
{
foreach($row as $column_index => $column_value)
{
//do something with the data, using the ids to establish the discussion.has_many(comments) relationship.
}
}
?>
If you are building an ORM, this method is very useful to support more natural SQL syntax. Most ORMs require the column names to be aliases so that they can be parsed and turned into objects that properly represent has_one, has_many, many_to_many relationships.
I found a short discussion related to this function at

I haven't tried it (yet?) but hopefully someone can find it useful.
