mysqli::query -- mysqli_query — Performs a query on the database
Objektorientierter Stil
Prozeduraler Stil
Performs a query against the database.
Functionally, using this function is identical to calling mysqli_real_query() followed either by mysqli_use_result() or mysqli_store_result().
Hinweis:
In the case where you pass a statement to mysqli_query() that is longer than max_allowed_packet of the server, the returned error codes are different depending on whether you are using MySQL Native Driver (mysqlnd) or MySQL Client Library (libmysql). The behavior is as follows:
mysqlnd on Linux returns an error code of 1153. The error message means "got a packet bigger than max_allowed_packet bytes".
mysqlnd on Windows returns an error code 2006. This error message means "server has gone away".
libmysql on all platforms returns an error code 2006. This error message means "server has gone away".
Nur bei prozeduralem Aufruf: Ein von mysqli_connect() oder mysqli_init() zurückgegebenes Verbindungsobjekt.
The query string.
Data inside the query should be properly escaped.
Either the constant MYSQLI_USE_RESULT or MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT depending on the desired behavior. By default, MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT is used.
If you use MYSQLI_USE_RESULT all subsequent calls will return error Commands out of sync unless you call mysqli_free_result()
With MYSQLI_ASYNC (available with mysqlnd), it is possible to perform query asynchronously. mysqli_poll() is then used to get results from such queries.
Returns FALSE on failure. For successful SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE or EXPLAIN queries mysqli_query() will return a result object. For other successful queries mysqli_query() will return TRUE.

<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
/* Create table doesn't return a resultset */
if ($mysqli->query("CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE myCity LIKE City") === TRUE) {
printf("Table myCity successfully created.\n");
}
/* Select queries return a resultset */
if ($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT Name FROM City LIMIT 10")) {
printf("Select returned %d rows.\n", $result->num_rows);
/* free result set */
$result->close();
}
/* If we have to retrieve large amount of data we use MYSQLI_USE_RESULT */
if ($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM City", MYSQLI_USE_RESULT)) {
/* Note, that we can't execute any functions which interact with the
server until result set was closed. All calls will return an
'out of sync' error */
if (!$mysqli->query("SET @a:='this will not work'")) {
printf("Error: %s\n", $mysqli->error);
}
$result->close();
}
$mysqli->close();
?>

<?php
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
/* Create table doesn't return a resultset */
if (mysqli_query($link, "CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE myCity LIKE City") === TRUE) {
printf("Table myCity successfully created.\n");
}
/* Select queries return a resultset */
if ($result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT Name FROM City LIMIT 10")) {
printf("Select returned %d rows.\n", mysqli_num_rows($result));
/* free result set */
mysqli_free_result($result);
}
/* If we have to retrieve large amount of data we use MYSQLI_USE_RESULT */
if ($result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT * FROM City", MYSQLI_USE_RESULT)) {
/* Note, that we can't execute any functions which interact with the
server until result set was closed. All calls will return an
'out of sync' error */
if (!mysqli_query($link, "SET @a:='this will not work'")) {
printf("Error: %s\n", mysqli_error($link));
}
mysqli_free_result($result);
}
mysqli_close($link);
?>
The above examples will output:
Table myCity successfully created. Select returned 10 rows. Error: Commands out of sync; You can't run this command now
You can create similar generic statements for updates and deletes.
<?php
function genericUpdate($tablename, $opts, $where) {
$opts = cleanseArray($opts);
$keys = array_keys($opts);
$vals = array_values($opts);
$setString;
$whereString;
for ($i = 0; $i < count($keys); $i++) {
if (in_array($keys[$i], $where)) {
if (!isset($whereString))
$whereString = $keys[$i]." = '".$vals[$i]."'";
else
$whereString = $whereString." AND ".$keys[$i]." = '".$vals[$i]."'";
} else {
if (!isset($setString))
$setString = $keys[$i]." = '".$vals[$i]."'";
else
$setString = $setString.", ".$keys[$i]." = '".$vals[$i]."'";
}
}
$sql = "UPDATE $tablename SET ".$setString." WHERE ".$whereString;
logDebug("SQL TO Update KEYS: ".$sql);
return dbQuery($sql);
}
function genericDelete($tablename, $opts) {
$opts = cleanseArray($opts);
$keys = array_keys($opts);
$vals = array_values($opts);
$whereString;
for ($i = 0; $i < count($keys); $i++) {
if ($i == (count($keys) - 1))
$whereString = $whereString.$keys[$i]." = '".$vals[$i]."'";
else
$whereString = $whereString.$keys[$i]." = '".$vals[$i]."' AND ";
}
$sql = "DELETE FROM ". $tablename . " WHERE " . $whereString;
logDebug("SQL TO DELETE KEYS: ".$sql);
return dbQuery($sql);
}
?>
Just be sure that you cleanse your arrays before input into DB.
<?php
function cleansePureString($str, $char = '\\')
{
///[^a-zA-Z0-9\s]/ NON ALPHA
$cleansed = preg_replace("/[%_'\"]/", '', $str); //_, % and '
//logDebug("CLEANSED VAL: ".$cleansed);
return $cleansed;
}
function cleanseArray($opts) {
$cleansedArray = array();
$keys = array_keys($opts);
$vals = array_values($opts);
for ($i = 0; $i < count($keys); $i++) {
$newKey = cleansePureString($keys[$i],"'");
$newVal = cleansePureString($vals[$i],"'");
$cleansedArray[$newKey] = $newVal;
}
return $cleansedArray;
}
?>
Building inserts can be annoying. This helper function inserts an array into a table, using the key names as column names:
<?php
private function store_array (&$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.
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.

mysqli::query() can only execute one SQL statement.
Use mysqli::multi_query() when you want to run multiple SQL statements within one query.
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...
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.
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,$q); )
Hope it helps. Jon
this is a variant of mysqli_query that returns output parameters as a rowset.
<?php
function mysqli_exec($link, $command)
{
$select = '';
$i2 = 0;
while (true)
{
$i1 = strpos($command, '@', $i2);
if ($i1 === false)
break;
$field = '';
$i2 = $i1 + 1;
while ($i2 < strlen($command) &&
($command[$i2] >= '0' && $command[$i2] <= '9') ||
($command[$i2] >= 'A' && $command[$i2] <= 'Z') ||
($command[$i2] >= 'a' && $command[$i2] <= 'z') ||
($command[$i2] == '_'))
$i2++;
$field = substr($command, $i1 + 1, $i2 - $i1 - 1);
if (strlen($select) == 0)
$select = "select @{$field} as $field";
else
$select = $select . ", @{$field} as $field";
}
if (strlen($select) > 0)
{
mysqli_query($link, $command);
return mysqli_query($link, $select);
}
else
return mysqli_query($link, $command);
}
?>
an example:
<?php
$link = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'myusr', 'mypass') or die ('Error connecting to mysql: ' . mysqli_error($link));
mysqli_select_db($link, 'clips');
$user_name = 'test';
$result = mysqli_exec($link, "call do_user_login('$user_name', @session_id, @msg)");
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
{
echo "session_id : {$row['session_id']} <br>";
echo "msg : {$row['msg']} <br>";
}
?>
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.
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.
WARNING: This function was buggy on 64bit machines till 5.0.5. Affected versions 5.0.0-5.0.4. The problem appears when a value for the third parameter is passed - this will lead to instant FALSE returned by the function. Therefore if you need to use unbuffered query don't use this function with the aforementioned versions but you mysqli_real_query() and mysqli_use_result().
If you have the rights to patch you PHP installation the fix is easy:
In file ext/mysqli/myslqi_nonapi.c, function PHP_FUNCTION(mysqli_query)
change
unsigned int resultmode=0;
to
unsigned long resultmode=0;
Thanks!
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';
