Column Properties with the PurePHP MySQL API

Using the PurePHP MySQL API Part 6

Foreword: In this part of the series, I talk about table column properties obtained with the PurePHP MySQL API. PurePHP stands for Pure PHP.

Structure of the $Fields Array
$Fields is a two dimensional array, where the number of rows is the number of columns (fields) in the result set. Each row has the following values in the order given:

- Name of column: this is the alias name. It would be the original name if there was no alias name;
- Name of database for the result set;
- Name of table having the column: this is the alias name. It would be the original name if there was no alias name;
- Character Set Code;
- Column (Field) length;
- Type Code;
- Field Type;
- Decimal point precision of field values;
- Default column value, if present

As you can see, there are 9 properties.

Displaying a row of the Array
The following code returns a result set and the properties of the second column are displayed:

        $sel = "SELECT * FROM pet";
        if (!query($sel))
            {
                echo $Error_msg, "<br>";
            }
        else
            {
                for ($j=0; $j<9; ++$j)
                    {
                           echo $Fields[1][$j],  ', ';
                    }
            }

In the code, [1] is for the second column; for the third column you would type, [2]; for fourth, [3] and so on. 9 in the first line of the for-loop is for the 9 properties.

That is it for this part of the series. We stop here and continue in the next part.
