Digg  pg_field_name
Returns the name of a field
(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)
Example 1927. Getting information about fields<?phpThe above example will output: column 0Code Examples / Notes » pg_field_nameccasal
The pg_fieldname function only returns the unqualified name from the select statement. example: select c.name, con.name from customer c, contacts con where con.customer_id = c.id; pg_fieldname will return "name" for both fields instead of c.name and con.name. This is a PostgreSQL limitation, not a PHP limitation. if you need different field names you should use : select c.name as customer_name, con.name as contact_name from customer c, contacts con where con.customer_id = c.id; then pg_fieldname will return "customer_name" and "contact_name" 12-aug-2004 06:01
In fact you can extract the size of the varchar field, by simply sending the following query: "select a.atttypmod,a.attrelid from pg_attribute as a, pg_class as c where c.relname='$table' AND a.attrelid=c.oid AND a.attname='$field'" here is a simple function that does that: function get_field_size($table, $field, $link) { $result = pg_query($link, "select a.atttypmod,a.attrelid from pg_attribute as a, pg_class as c where c.relname='$table' AND a.attrelid=c.oid AND a.attname='$field'"); $data = pg_fetch_object($result); return ($data->atttypmod - 4); } returned value is a size of a given field (also varchar) |
