mysqli_fetch_fields result->fetch_fields Returns an array of objects representing the fields in a result set Procedural Style: mixedmysqli_fetch_fields objectresult Object oriented style (method): result mixed fetch_fields This function serves an identical purpose to the mysqli_fetch_field function with the single difference that, instead of returning one object at a time for each field, the columns are returned as an array of objects. Returns an array of objects which contains field definition informations or &false; if no field information is available. Property Description name The name of the column orgname Original column name if an alias was specified table The name of the table this field belongs to (if not calculated) orgtable Original table name if an alias was specified def The default value for this field, represented as a string max_length The maximum width of the field for the result set. flags An integer representing the bit-flags for the field. type The data type used for this field decimals The number of decimals used (for integer fields) mysqli_num_fields mysqli_fetch_field mysqli_fetch_field_direct query($query)) { /* Get field information for all columns */ $finfo = $result->fetch_fields(); for ($i=0; $i < count($finfo); $i++) { printf("Name: %s\n", $finfo[$i]->name); printf("Table: %s\n", $finfo[$i]->table); printf("max.
