maxdb_stmt_result_metadata

(PECL maxdb >= 1.0)

Returns result set metadata from a prepared statement

resource maxdb_stmt_result_metadata ( resource $stmt )

Procedural style

Object oriented style

resource maxdb_stmt::result_metadata ( void )

If a statement passed to maxdb_prepare() is one that produces a result set, maxdb_stmt_result_metadata() returns the result resource that can be used to process the meta information such as total number of fields and individual field information.

Note:

This result set pointer can be passed as an argument to any of the field-based functions that process result set metadata, such as:

maxdb_num_fields()

maxdb_fetch_field()

maxdb_fetch_field_direct()

maxdb_fetch_fields()

maxdb_field_count()

maxdb_field_seek()

maxdb_field_tell()

maxdb_free_result()

The result set structure should be freed when you are done with it, which you can do by passing it to maxdb_free_result()

Note:

The result set returned by maxdb_stmt_result_metadata() contains only metadata. It does not contain any row results. The rows are obtained by using the statement handle with maxdb_fetch().

Returns:

maxdb_stmt_result_metadata() returns a result resource or FALSE if an error occurred.
