mysql_field_type

(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

mysql_field_type --  Возвращает тип указанного поля результата запроса.

Описание

string mysql_field_type ( resource result, int field_offset )

Функция mysql_field_type() аналогична функции mysql_field_name(). Аргументы одинаковы, но вместо имени колонки возвращается её тип. Поля могут быть типов "int", "real", "string", "blob", а также других, описанных в документации MySQL.

Пример 1. Пример использования mysql_field_type()

<?php
   mysql_connect
("localhost", "mysql_username", "mysql_password");
  
mysql_select_db("mysql");
  
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM func");
  
$fields = mysql_num_fields($result);
  
$rows  = mysql_num_rows($result);
  
$table = mysql_field_table($result, 0);
   echo
"Your '".$table."' table has ".$fields." fields and ".$rows." record(s)\n";
   echo
"The table has the following fields:\n";
   for (
$i=0; $i < $fields; $i++) {
      
$type  = mysql_field_type($result, $i);
      
$name  = mysql_field_name($result, $i);
      
$len  = mysql_field_len($result, $i);
      
$flags = mysql_field_flags($result, $i);
       echo
$type." ".$name." ".$len." ".$flags."\n";
   }
  
mysql_free_result($result);
  
mysql_close();
?>

Вышеописанный пример выдаст следующий результат:

Your 'func' table has 4 fields and 1 record(s)
The table has the following fields:
string name 64 not_null primary_key binary
int ret 1 not_null
string dl 128 not_null
string type 9 not_null enum

Для совместимости доступна функция mysql_fieldtype(). Однако, её использование крайне не рекомендуется.

This function is broken in 4.4.1 (works fine in 4.3.X).

The note blow seems incomplete/incorrect. For php 4.3 and mysql 4.x the returned values are:

CHAR, VARCHAR, TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, LONGTEXT, ENUM, SET: string
TINYINT, SMALLINT, MEDIUMINT, INT, INTEGER, BIGINT: int
FLOAT, DOUBLE, DECIMAL, NUMERIC: real
TIMESTAMP: timestamp
YEAR: year
DATE: date
TIME: time
DATETIME: datetime
TINYBLOB, MEDIUMBLOB, LONGBLOB, BLOB: blob

if mysql-field-type seems to return the wrong values, you may encounter an compatibility problem of mysql, php and the libraries you use. Try reinstalling php and mysql.

Hmm for the previous comment, note that SHOW FIELDS is an alias of SHOW COLUMNS. Very useful if you need to search the mysql-documentation. Here is the link anyway...

The field type returns what PHP classifies the data found in the field, not how it is stored in the database; use the following example to retrieve the MySQL information about the field....

$USERNAME = '';
$PASSWORD = '';

$DATABASE = '';
$TABLE_NAME = '';

mysql_connect('localhost', $USERNAME, $PASSWORD)
   or die ("Could not connect");

$result = mysql_query("SHOW FIELDS FROM $DATABASE.$TABLE_NAME");

$i = 0;

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
  echo $row['Field'] . ' ' . $row['Type'];
}

Like mysql_fetch_field, this returns the PHP type, not the MySQL type.
