max_lengthThe maximum width of the field for the result set.
typeThe data type used for this field
decimalsThe number of decimals used (for integer fields)


Examples

Example 1194. Object oriented style

<?php
$maxdb
= new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");

/* check connection */
if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
 
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error());
  exit();
}

$query = "SELECT name, cno from hotel.customer ORDER BY cno";

if (
$result = $maxdb->query($query)) {

 
/* Get field information for all columns */
 
while ($finfo = $result->fetch_field()) {

     
printf("Name:     %s\n", $finfo->name);
     
printf("Table:    %s\n", $finfo->table);
     
printf("max. Len: %d\n", $finfo->max_length);
     
printf("Flags:    %d\n", $finfo->flags);
     
printf("Type:     %d\n\n", $finfo->type);
  }
 
$result->close();
}

/* close connection */
$maxdb->close();
?>


Example 1195. Procedural style

<?php
$link
= maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");

/* check connection */
if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
 
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error());
  exit();
}

$query = "SELECT name, cno from hotel.customer ORDER BY cno";

if (
$result = maxdb_query($link, $query)) {

 
/* Get field information for all fields */
 
while ($finfo = maxdb_fetch_field($result)) {

     
printf("Name:     %s\n", $finfo->name);
     
printf("Table:    %s\n", $finfo->table);
     
printf("max. Len: %d\n", $finfo->max_length);
     
printf("Flags:    %d\n", $finfo->flags);
     
printf("Type:     %d\n\n", $finfo->type);
  }
 
maxdb_free_result($result);
}

/* close connection */
maxdb_close($link);
?>


The above examples would produce the following output:

Name:     NAME
Table:
max. Len: 10
Flags:    -1
Type:     2

Name:     CNO
Table:
max. Len: 4
Flags:    -1
Type:     0
