mysqli_result::fetch_array -- mysqli_fetch_array — Fetch a result row as an associative, a numeric array, or both
Object oriented style
Procedural style
Returns an array that corresponds to the fetched row or NULL if there
are no more rows for the resultset represented by the
result parameter.
mysqli_fetch_array() is an extended version of the mysqli_fetch_row() function. In addition to storing the data in the numeric indices of the result array, the mysqli_fetch_array() function can also store the data in associative indices, using the field names of the result set as keys.
Note: Field names returned by this function are case-sensitive.
Note: This function sets NULL fields to the PHP
NULLvalue.
If two or more columns of the result have the same field names, the last column will take precedence and overwrite the earlier data. In order to access multiple columns with the same name, the numerically indexed version of the row must be used.
resultProcedural style only: A result set identifier returned by mysqli_query(), mysqli_store_result() or mysqli_use_result().
resulttype
This optional parameter is a constant indicating what type of array
should be produced from the current row data. The possible values for
this parameter are the constants MYSQLI_ASSOC,
MYSQLI_NUM, or MYSQLI_BOTH.
By using the MYSQLI_ASSOC constant this function
will behave identically to the mysqli_fetch_assoc(),
while MYSQLI_NUM will behave identically to the
mysqli_fetch_row() function. The final option
MYSQLI_BOTH will create a single array with the
attributes of both.
Returns an array of strings that corresponds to the fetched row or NULL if there
are no more rows in resultset.
Example #1 Object oriented style
<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER by ID LIMIT 3";
$result = $mysqli->query($query);
/* numeric array */
$row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_NUM);
printf ("%s (%s)\n", $row[0], $row[1]);
/* associative array */
$row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC);
printf ("%s (%s)\n", $row["Name"], $row["CountryCode"]);
/* associative and numeric array */
$row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_BOTH);
printf ("%s (%s)\n", $row[0], $row["CountryCode"]);
/* free result set */
$result->free();
/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>
Example #2 Procedural style
<?php
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER by ID LIMIT 3";
$result = mysqli_query($link, $query);
/* numeric array */
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_NUM);
printf ("%s (%s)\n", $row[0], $row[1]);
/* associative array */
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC);
printf ("%s (%s)\n", $row["Name"], $row["CountryCode"]);
/* associative and numeric array */
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_BOTH);
printf ("%s (%s)\n", $row[0], $row["CountryCode"]);
/* free result set */
mysqli_free_result($result);
/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>
The above examples will output:
Kabul (AFG) Qandahar (AFG) Herat (AFG)
