maxdb_field_count

(PECL)

maxdb_field_count

(no version information, might be only in CVS)

maxdb->field_count -- Returns the number of columns for the most recent query

Description

Procedural style:

int maxdb_field_count ( resource link )

Object oriented style (method):

class maxdb {

int field_count ( void )

}

Returns the number of columns for the most recent query on the connection represented by the link parameter. This function can be useful when using the maxdb_store_result() function to determine if the query should have produced a non-empty result set or not without knowing the nature of the query.

Return values

An integer representing the number of fields in a result set

Example

Example 1. Object oriented style

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

maxdb_report (MAXDB_REPORT_OFF);
$maxdb->query("DROP TABLE friends");
maxdb_report (MAXDB_REPORT_ERROR);

$maxdb->query( "CREATE TABLE friends (id int, name varchar(20))");

$maxdb->query( "INSERT INTO friends VALUES (1,'Hartmut')");
$maxdb->query( "INSERT INTO friends VALUES (2, 'Ulf')");

if ($maxdb->field_count()) {
   /* this was a select/show or describe query */
   $result = $maxdb->store_result();

   /* process resultset */
   $row = $result->fetch_row();

   /* free resultset */
   $result->close();
}

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

Example 2. Procedural style

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

maxdb_report (MAXDB_REPORT_OFF);
maxdb_query($link,"DROP TABLE friends");
maxdb_report (MAXDB_REPORT_ERROR);

maxdb_query($link, "CREATE TABLE friends (id int, name varchar(20))");

maxdb_query($link, "INSERT INTO friends VALUES (1,'Hartmut')");
maxdb_query($link, "INSERT INTO friends VALUES (2, 'Ulf')");

if (maxdb_field_count($link)) {
   /* this was a select/show or describe query */
   $result = maxdb_store_result($link);

   /* process resultset */
   $row = maxdb_fetch_row($result);

   /* free resultset */
   maxdb_free_result($result);
}

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

The above example produces no output.
