mysql_field_name — 取得结果中指定字段的字段名
$result
, int $field_index
) mysql_field_name()
返回指定字段索引的字段名。result
必须是一个合法的结果标识符,field_index
是该字段的数字偏移量。
Note:
field_index
从 0 开始。例如,第三个字段的索引值其实是 2,第四个字段的索引值是 3,以此类推。
Note: 此函数返回的字段名大小写敏感。
Example #1 mysql_field_name() 例子
<?php
$link = mysql_connect ( 'localhost' , "mysql_user" , "mysql_password" );
$dbname = "mydb" ;
mysql_select_db ( $dbname , $link )
or die( "Could not set $dbname : " . mysql_error ());
$res = mysql_query ( "select * from users" , $link );
echo mysql_field_name ( $res , 0 ) . "\n" ;
echo mysql_field_name ( $res , 2 );
?>
以上例子将产生如下输出:
user_id password
为向下兼容仍然可以使用 mysql_fieldname() ,但反对这样做。
result
resource 型的结果集。此结果集来自对 mysql_query() 的调用。
field_offset
数值型字段偏移量。
field_offset
从 0 开始。如果
field_offset
不存在,则会发出一个
E_WARNING
级别的错误
The name of the specified field index on success 或者在失败时返回 FALSE
.
Example #2 mysql_field_name() example
<?php
$link = mysql_connect ( 'localhost' , 'mysql_user' , 'mysql_password' );
if (! $link ) {
die( 'Could not connect to MySQL server: ' . mysql_error ());
}
$dbname = 'mydb' ;
$db_selected = mysql_select_db ( $dbname , $link );
if (! $db_selected ) {
die( "Could not set $dbname : " . mysql_error ());
}
$res = mysql_query ( 'select * from users' , $link );
echo mysql_field_name ( $res , 0 ) . "\n" ;
echo mysql_field_name ( $res , 2 );
?>
以上例程会输出:
user_id password
Note: 此函数返回的字段名大小写敏感。
Note:
为了向下兼容,可以使用下列已废弃的别名: mysql_fieldname()

simple sql to xml converter works with any sql query and returns the name of the table as the root element "row" as each row element and the names of the columns are your children of row. fully tested.
<?php
';
function sqlToXml($host,$user,$pass,$database,$tablename,$query){
$link = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
$db = mysql_select_db($database, $link) or die(mysql_error());
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(!$result){ die('Invalid query: '.mysql_error()); }
$numOfCols = mysql_num_fields($result);
$numOfRows = mysql_num_rows($result);
$info = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
//send headers
header('Content-type: text/xml');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Cache-control: private');
header('Expires: -1');
$xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
$xml.= "<{$tablename}>";
if($numOfRows > 0){
do {
$xml.= "<row>";
foreach($info as $column => $value) {
$xml.= "<{$column}>{$value}</{$column}>";
}
$xml.= "</row>";
}
while ($info = mysql_fetch_array($result));
}
$xml.= "</{$tablename}>";
mysql_free_result($result);
return $xml;
}
?>

When using aliases, it appears impossible to discover the name of the underlying column.
select `ID` as `anAlias` from `aTable` returns 'anAlias' as the mysql_field_name(). I have tried all the mysql_field_xxx() functions and none return the real column name.

This function is slightly stupid to be honest, why not just make an array of field names... You could consolidate the two of these functions that way and it makes it a lot easier to list them when your script is dynamic.
<?php
function mysql_field_array( $query ) {
$field = mysql_num_fields( $query );
for ( $i = 0; $i < $field; $i++ ) {
$names[] = mysql_field_name( $query, $i );
}
return $names;
}
// Examples of use
$fields = mysql_field_array( $query );
// Show name of column 3
echo $fields[3];
// Show them all
echo implode( ', ', $fields[3] );
// Count them - easy equivelant to 'mysql_num_fields'
echo count( $fields );
?>

Strangely using an aproach like this:
$res=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `orders`",$conec) or die (mysql_error());
$fields = mysql_num_fields($res);
$out="";
for ($i = 0; $i < $fields; $i++) {
$fname=mysql_field_name($res, $i);
}
Outputted the E_Warning:
Warning: mysql_field_name() [function.mysql-field-name]: Field N is invalid for MySQL result index
With a lot of different number at N. But expliciting all fields instead of *. Didn't outputted the error.
It maybe a caracteristic of this mysql database(it is from a open source application) because i never saw this in my own databases. Anyway hope this help if someone face the same strange situation

james, why make so difficult when it's very simple :\
$numberfields = mysql_num_fields($res_gb);
for ($i=0; $i<$numberfields ; $i++ ) {
$var = mysql_field_name($res_gb, $i);
$row_title .= $var;
}
echo $row_title;

This is another variant of displaying all columns of a query result, but with a simplified while loop.
<?php
$query="select * from user";
$result=mysql_query($query);
$numfields = mysql_num_fields($result);
echo "<table>\n<tr>";
for ($i=0; $i < $numfields; $i++) // Header
{ echo '<th>'.mysql_field_name($result, $i).'</th>'; }
echo "</tr>\n";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) // Data
{ echo '<tr><td>'.implode($row,'</td><td>')."</td></tr>\n"; }
echo "</table>\n"
?>

The following will create a PHP array, $array, containing the MySQL query results with array indexes of the same name as field names returned by the MySQL query.
while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
$i=0;
foreach ($line as $col_value) {
$field=mysql_field_name($result,$i);
$array[$field] = $col_value;
$i++;
}
}

The code in the last comment has an obvious mistake in the for loop expression. The correct expression in the for-loop is $x<$y rather than $x<=$y...
$result = mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die(mysql_error());
$rowcount=mysql_num_rows($result);
$y=mysql_num_fields($result);
for ($x=0; $x<$y; $x++) {
echo = mysql_field_name($result, $x).'<br>';
}
[#9] colin dot truran at shiftf7 dot com [2004-12-17 04:44:54]
T simply itterate through all the field names on a result set try using this.
$result = mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die(mysql_error());
$rowcount=mysql_num_rows($result);
$y=mysql_num_fields($result);
for ($x=0; $x<=$y; $x++) {
echo = mysql_field_name($result, $x).'<br>';
}
This is useful if you have a result set that joins several tables dynamicaly and you are never sure what all the fields will be when you come to display them.
I suggest you place this within a loop through your result rows and include a field flag check around the echo to only show certain data types like this.
$y=mysql_num_fields($result);
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
for ($x=0; $x<=$y; $x++) {
$fieldname=mysql_field_name($result,$x);
$fieldtype=mysql_field_type($result, $x);
if ($fieldtype=='string' && $row[$fieldname]!='')
echo $row[$fieldname].' , ';
}
echo '<br>';
}

You could probably elaborate on this by sending a full sql query to this function...but I titled it simple_query() because it doesn't really allow for joins. Never the less, if you want to get a quick array full of a single row result set this is painless:
function simple_query($table_name, $key_col, $key_val) {
// open the db
$db_link = my_sql_link();
// query table using key col/val
$db_rs = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table_name WHERE $key_col = $key_val", $db_link);
$num_fields = mysql_num_fields($db_rs);
if ($num_fields) {
// first (and only) row
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($db_rs);
// load up array
for ($i = 0; $i < $num_fields; $i++) {
$simple_q[mysql_field_name($db_rs, $i)] = $row[mysql_field_name($db_rs, $i)];
}
// and return
return $simple_q;
} else {
// no rows
return false;
}
mysql_free_result($db_rs);
}
**Please note that my_sql_link() is just a function I have to open up a my sql connection.**

here's one way to print out a row of <th> tags from a table
NOTE: i didn't test this
$result = mysql_query("select * from table");
for ($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_fields($result); $i++) {
print "<th>".mysql_field_name($result, $i)."</th>\n";
}
post a comment if there's an error
