mixed
fetch_field_direct ( int fieldnr )
}
maxdb_fetch_field_direct() returns an resource which contains
field definition informations from specified resultset. The value of fieldnr must be in the

Table 1. Object attributes
Attribute | Description |
---|
name | The name of the column |
max_length | The maximum width of the field for the result set. |
type | The data type used for this field |
decimals | The number of decimals used (for integer fields) |
Example
Example 1. Object oriented style
<?php $maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");
/* check connection */ if (maxdb_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error()); exit(); }
$query = "SELECT name, cno from hotel.customer ORDER BY name";
if ($result = $maxdb->query($query)) {
/* Get field information for column 'SurfaceArea' */ $finfo = $result->fetch_field_direct(1); printf("Name: %s\n", $finfo->name); printf("Table: %s\n", $finfo->table); printf("max. Len: %d\n", $finfo->max_length); printf("Flags: %d\n", $finfo->flags); printf("Type: %d\n", $finfo->type); $result->close(); }
/* close connection */ $maxdb->close(); ?>

Example 2. Procedural style
<?php $link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");
/* check connection */ if (maxdb_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error()); exit(); }
$query = "SELECT name, cno from hotel.customer ORDER BY name";
if ($result = maxdb_query($link, $query)) {
/* Get field information for column 'cno' */ $finfo = maxdb_fetch_field_direct($result, 1); printf("Name: %s\n", $finfo->name); printf("Table: %s\n", $finfo->table); printf("max. Len: %d\n", $finfo->max_length); printf("Flags: %d\n", $finfo->flags); printf("Type: %d\n", $finfo->type);
maxdb_free_result($result); }
/* close connection */ maxdb_close($link); ?>

The above examples would produce the following output:
Name: CNO
Table:
max. Len: 4
Flags: -1
Type: 0 |
