mysql_field_name
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PECL mysql:1.0)
mysql_field_name — Возвращает название указанной колонки результата запроса.
Описание
mysql_field_name() возвращает название колонки с указанным индексом. Параметр result должен быть указателем на результат запроса, а field_index -- индексом колонки в запросе.
Замечание: field_index начинается с 0.
К примеру, индекс третьей колонки будет 2, а индекс четвёртой -- 3.
Замечание: Имена полей, возвращаемые этой функцией, регистро-зависимы.
Пример #1 Пример использования mysql_field_name()
<?php
/* Таблица пользователей состоит из трёх колонок:
* user_id
* username
* password.
*/
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', "mysql_user", "mysql_password");
$dbname = "mydb";
mysql_select_db($dbname, $link)
or die("Could not set $dbname: " . mysql_error());
$res = mysql_query("select * from users", $link);
echo mysql_field_name($res, 0) . "\n";
echo mysql_field_name($res, 2);
?>
Вышеописанный пример выдаст следующий результат:
user_id password
Для совместимости, как алиас, доступна устаревшая функция mysql_fieldname(). Однако, использовать её крайне не рекомендуется.

here's one way to print out a row of <th> tags from a table
NOTE: i didn't test this
$result = mysql_query("select * from table");
for ($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_fields($result); $i++) {
print "<th>".mysql_field_name($result, $i)."</th>\n";
}
post a comment if there's an error
<?
/*
By simply calling the searchtable() function
with these variables it will serach the desired

there is a match.

$link = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());

You could probably elaborate on this by sending a full sql query to this function...but I titled it simple_query() because it doesn't really allow for joins. Never the less, if you want to get a quick array full of a single row result set this is painless:
function simple_query($table_name, $key_col, $key_val) {
// open the db
$db_link = my_sql_link();
// query table using key col/val
$db_rs = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table_name WHERE $key_col = $key_val", $db_link);
$num_fields = mysql_num_fields($db_rs);
if ($num_fields) {
// first (and only) row
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($db_rs);
// load up array
for ($i = 0; $i < $num_fields; $i++) {
$simple_q[mysql_field_name($db_rs, $i)] = $row[mysql_field_name($db_rs, $i)];
}
// and return
return $simple_q;
} else {
// no rows
return false;
}
mysql_free_result($db_rs);
}
**Please note that my_sql_link() is just a function I have to open up a my sql connection.**
T simply itterate through all the field names on a result set try using this.
$result = mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die(mysql_error());
$rowcount=mysql_num_rows($result);
$y=mysql_num_fields($result);
for ($x=0; $x<=$y; $x++) {
echo = mysql_field_name($result, $x).'<br>';
}
This is useful if you have a result set that joins several tables dynamicaly and you are never sure what all the fields will be when you come to display them.
I suggest you place this within a loop through your result rows and include a field flag check around the echo to only show certain data types like this.
$y=mysql_num_fields($result);
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
for ($x=0; $x<=$y; $x++) {
$fieldname=mysql_field_name($result,$x);
$fieldtype=mysql_field_type($result, $x);
if ($fieldtype=='string' && $row[$fieldname]!='')
echo $row[$fieldname].' , ';
}
echo '<br>';
}
The code in the last comment has an obvious mistake in the for loop expression. The correct expression in the for-loop is $x<$y rather than $x<=$y...
$result = mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die(mysql_error());
$rowcount=mysql_num_rows($result);
$y=mysql_num_fields($result);
for ($x=0; $x<$y; $x++) {
echo = mysql_field_name($result, $x).'<br>';
}
The following will create a PHP array, $array, containing the MySQL query results with array indexes of the same name as field names returned by the MySQL query.
while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
$i=0;
foreach ($line as $col_value) {
$field=mysql_field_name($result,$i);
$array[$field] = $col_value;
$i++;
}
}
This is another variant of displaying all columns of a query result, but with a simplified while loop.
<?
$query="select * from user";
$result=mysql_query($query);
$numfields = mysql_num_fields($result);
echo "<table>\n<tr>";
for ($i=0; $i < $numfields; $i++) // Header
{ echo '<th>'.mysql_field_name($result, $i).'</th>'; }
echo "</tr>\n";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) // Data
{ echo '<tr><td>'.implode($row,'</td><td>')."</td></tr>\n"; }
echo "</table>\n"
?>
james, why make so difficult when it's very simple :\
$numberfields = mysql_num_fields($res_gb);
for ($i=0; $i<$numberfields ; $i++ ) {
$var = mysql_field_name($res_gb, $i);
$row_title .= $var;
}
echo $row_title;
Strangely using an aproach like this:
$res=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `orders`",$conec) or die (mysql_error());
$fields = mysql_num_fields($res);
$out="";
for ($i = 0; $i < $fields; $i++) {
$fname=mysql_field_name($res, $i);
}
Outputted the E_Warning:
Warning: mysql_field_name() [function.mysql-field-name]: Field N is invalid for MySQL result index
With a lot of different number at N. But expliciting all fields instead of *. Didn't outputted the error.
It maybe a caracteristic of this mysql database(it is from a open source application) because i never saw this in my own databases. Anyway hope this help if someone face the same strange situation
This function is slightly stupid to be honest, why not just make an array of field names... You could consolidate the two of these functions that way and it makes it a lot easier to list them when your script is dynamic.
<?php
function mysql_field_array( $query ) {
$field = mysql_num_fields( $query );
for ( $i = 0; $i < $field; $i++ ) {
$names[] = mysql_field_name( $query, $i );
}
return $names;
}
// Examples of use
$fields = mysql_field_array( $query );
// Show name of column 3
echo $fields[3];
// Show them all
echo implode( ', ', $fields[3] );
// Count them - easy equivelant to 'mysql_num_fields'
echo count( $fields );
?>
When using aliases, it appears impossible to discover the name of the underlying column.select `ID` as `anAlias` from `aTable` returns 'anAlias' as the mysql_field_name(). I have tried all the mysql_field_xxx() functions and none return the real column name.
simple sql to xml converter works with any sql query and returns the name of the table as the root element "row" as each row element and the names of the columns are your children of row. fully tested.
<?php
function sqlToXml($host,$user,$pass,$database,$tablename,$query){
$link = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
$db = mysql_select_db($database, $link) or die(mysql_error());
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(!$result){ die('Invalid query: '.mysql_error()); }
$numOfCols = mysql_num_fields($result);
$numOfRows = mysql_num_rows($result);
$info = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
//send headers
header('Content-type: text/xml');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Cache-control: private');
header('Expires: -1');
$xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>';
$xml.= "<{$tablename}>";
if($numOfRows > 0){
do {
$xml.= "<row>";
foreach($info as $column => $value) {
$xml.= "<{$column}>{$value}</{$column}>";
}
$xml.= "</row>";
}
while ($info = mysql_fetch_array($result));
}
$xml.= "</{$tablename}>";
mysql_free_result($result);
return $xml;
}
?>
