mysqli_stmt::result_metadata -- mysqli_stmt_result_metadata — Returns result set metadata from a prepared statement
Objektorientierter Stil
Prozeduraler Stil
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.
Hinweis:
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()
Hinweis:
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().
Nur bei prozeduralem Aufruf: ein von mysqli_stmt_init() zurückgegebenes Statementobjekt.
Returns a result object or FALSE if an error occurred.
Beispiel #1 Objektorientierter Stil
<?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();
?>
Beispiel #2 Prozeduraler Stil
<?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);
?>
If result_metadata() returns false but error/errno/sqlstate tells you no error occurred, this means your query is one that does not produce a result set, i.e. an INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE query instead of a SELECT query.
This is stated in the documentation where it says "If a statement passed to mysqli_prepare() is one that produces a result set, mysqli_stmt_result_metadata() returns the result object", but it might not be clear to everyone what this entails exactly.
Hope this helps.
In order to fetch meta data for the expected result you do not have to execute a query, nor does the table have to contain any data.
The metadata is already available after the statement has been prepared.
