(PHP 5, PHP 7)
Returns the lengths of the columns of the current row in the result set
array mysqli_fetch_lengths ( mysqli_result $result )
Object oriented style
array $mysqli_result->lengths;
Procedural style
The mysqli_fetch_lengths() function returns an array containing the lengths of every column of the current row within the result set.
Parameters:
result
Procedural style only: A result set identifier returned by mysqli_query(), mysqli_store_result() or mysqli_use_result().
Returns:
An array of integers representing the size of each column (not including any terminating null characters). FALSE
if an error occurred.
mysqli_fetch_lengths() is valid only for the current row of the result set. It returns FALSE
if you call it before calling mysqli_fetch_row/array/object or after retrieving all rows in the result.
Examples:
Object oriented style
<?php $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world"); /* check connection */ if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } $query = "SELECT * from Country ORDER BY Code LIMIT 1"; if ($result = $mysqli->query($query)) { $row = $result->fetch_row(); /* display column lengths */ foreach ($result->lengths as $i => $val) { printf("Field %2d has Length %2d\n", $i+1, $val); } $result->close(); } /* close connection */ $mysqli->close(); ?>
Procedural style
<?php $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world"); /* check connection */ if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } $query = "SELECT * from Country ORDER BY Code LIMIT 1"; if ($result = mysqli_query($link, $query)) { $row = mysqli_fetch_row($result); /* display column lengths */ foreach (mysqli_fetch_lengths($result) as $i => $val) { printf("Field %2d has Length %2d\n", $i+1, $val); } mysqli_free_result($result); } /* close connection */ mysqli_close($link); ?>
The above examples will output:
Field 1 has Length 3 Field 2 has Length 5 Field 3 has Length 13 Field 4 has Length 9 Field 5 has Length 6 Field 6 has Length 1 Field 7 has Length 6 Field 8 has Length 4 Field 9 has Length 6 Field 10 has Length 6 Field 11 has Length 5 Field 12 has Length 44 Field 13 has Length 7 Field 14 has Length 3 Field 15 has Length 2
