mysql_field_flags
Get the flags associated with the specified field in a result
This extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information. Alternatives to this function include:
mysqli_fetch_field_direct [flags] |
PDOStatement::getColumnMeta [flags] |
string|false mysql_field_flags(resource result,
int field_offset);
mysql_field_flags
returns the field flags of the specified field. The flags are
reported as a single word per flag separated by a single space,
so that you can split the returned value using
explode
.
result
The result resource that is being
evaluated. This result comes from a call to
mysql_query
.
field_offset
The numerical field offset. The
field_offset
starts at
0
. If
field_offset
does not exist, an
error of level E_WARNING
is also
issued.
Returns a string of flags associated with the result or
false
on failure.
The following flags are reported, if your version of MySQL is
current enough to support them:
"not_null"
,
"primary_key"
,
"unique_key"
,
"multiple_key"
,
"blob"
,
"unsigned"
,
"zerofill"
,
"binary"
,
"enum"
,
"auto_increment"
and
"timestamp"
.
Example 6.27 A
mysql_field_flags
example
<?php $result = mysql_query("SELECT id,email FROM people WHERE id = '42'"); if (!$result) { echo 'Could not run query: ' . mysql_error(); exit; } $flags = mysql_field_flags($result, 0); echo $flags; print_r(explode(' ', $flags)); ?>
The above example will output something similar to:
not_null primary_key auto_increment Array ( [0] => not_null [1] => primary_key [2] => auto_increment )
For backward compatibility, the following deprecated alias may
be used: mysql_fieldflags
