Description

mysql_field_type(resource $result, int $field_offset): string

mysql_field_type() est similaire à la fonction mysql_field_name(). Les arguments sont identiques mais c'est le type de la colonne qui est retourné.

Liste de paramètres

result

La ressource de résultat qui vient d'être évaluée. Ce résultat vient de l'appel à la fonction mysql_query().

field_offset

La position numérique du champ. field_offset commence à 0. Si field_offset n'existe pas, une alerte de niveau E_WARNING sera générée.

Valeurs de retour

Le type du champ retourné peut être : "int", "real", "string", "blob" ou d'autres, comme détaillé » dans la documentation MySQL.

Exemples

Exemple #1 Exemple avec 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
"Votre table '" . $table . "' dispose de " . $fields . " colonnes et " . $rows . " ligne(s)\n";
echo
"Les colonnes sont les suivantes :\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();
?>

Résultat de l'exemple ci-dessus est similaire à :

Votre table 'func' dispose de 4 colonnes et 1 ligne(s)
Les colonnes sont les suivantes : 
string name 64 not_null primary_key binary
int ret 1 not_null
string dl 128 not_null
string type 9 not_null enum

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...

Condensed version of what KRANG said.

To get info on the MYSQL field type, use this code

<?
$result = mysql_query("SHOW FIELDS FROM db_name");

$i = 1;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { //go through one field at a time
echo "Field $i: ";
print_r($row) //display all information about A field which can be accessed thru the "$row" array.
$i++;
}
?>

Will display something like:
Field 1: Array ( [Field] => SN [Type] => mediumint(8) unsigned [Null] => [Key] => PRI [Default] => [Extra] => auto_increment ) , SN, mediumint(8) unsigned
Field 2: Array ( [Field] => ENTITY_ID [Type] => varchar(20) [Null] => [Key] => [Default] => [Extra] => ) , ENTITY_ID, varchar(20)

Additional to the note below:
If you're using the "SHOW FIELDS" syntax, be sure that you're adding the table name instead of the db name in the "FROM" parameter:

<?php
$result
= mysql_query("SHOW FIELDS FROM table");
?>

Also possible:

<?php
$result
= mysql_query("SHOW FIELDS FROM table.db");
?>

or this:

<?php
$result
= mysql_query("DESCRIBE table");
?>

In MySQL 4.1.x, the four TEXT types (TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, and LONGTEXT) return 'blob" as field types, not "string".

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'];
}
