mysqli_use_result mysqli->use_result() Initiate a result set retrieval &reftitle.description; Procedural style: mysqli_resultmysqli_use_result mysqlilink Object oriented style (method): mysqli mysqli_resultuse_result Used to initiate the retrieval of a result set from the last query executed using the mysqli_real_query function on the database connection. Either this or the mysqli_store_result function must be called before the results of a query can be retrieved, and one or the other must be called to prevent the next query on that database connection from failing. The mysqli_use_result function does not transfer the entire result set from the database and hence cannot be used functions such as mysqli_data_seek to move to a particular row within the set. To use this functionality, the result set must be stored using mysqli_store_result. One should not use mysqli_use_result if a lot of processing on the client side is performed, since this will tie up the server and prevent other threads from updating any tables from which the data is being fetched. &reftitle.returnvalues; Returns an unbuffered result object or &false; if an error occurred. &reftitle.examples; multi_query($query)) { do { /* store first result set */ if ($result = $mysqli->use_result()) { while ($row = $result->fetch_row()) { printf("%s\n", $row[0]); } $result->close(); } /* print divider */ if ($mysqli->more_results()) { printf("-----------------\n"); } } while ($mysqli->next_result()); } /* close connection */ $mysqli->close(); ?> ]]> ]]> &example.outputs; &reftitle.seealso; mysqli_real_query mysqli_store_result
